FYI: white space changes in mkinstalldirs and depcomp

[Jim Meyering]

I've just checked in the following changes on the 1.7 branch
(thinking it was the trunk -- hope that's ok).
I'll put them on the trunk shortly.

The mkinstalldirs changes affect leading white space only.
The depcomp change does this (filtered through `cat -A'):

- sed -e 's,^.*\.[a-z]*:[ ^I]*,,' -e 's,$,:,' < "$tmpdepfile" >> "$depfile"$
+ sed -e 's,^.*\.[a-z]*:[^I ]*,,' -e 's,$,:,' < "$tmpdepfile" >> "$depfile"$

        * lib/mkinstalldirs: Remove each sequence of spaces before a
        TAB character.
        * lib/depcomp: Search for TAB-SPC, not SPC-TAB.
