Fixup release rules.
@item mkinstalldirs
This script used to be a wrapper around @samp{mkdir -p}, which is not
-portable. Now we prefer to use @samp{install-sh -d} when configure

finds that @samp{mkdir -p} does not work, this makes one less script to
distribute.
@item PYTHON_PREFIX
The string @samp{$@{prefix@}}. This term may be used in future work
that needs the contents of Python's @samp{sys.prefix}, but general
-consensus is to always use the value from configure.

@item PYTHON_PLATFORM
The canonical name used by Python to describe the operating system, as

This variable should therefore carry any non-standard source that may
-be read as a side effect of running configure, like @file{version.sh}

in the example above.
Speaking of @file{version.sh} scripts, we recommend against them
