nice idea.  Attached please find a patch which implements it.

The patch eliminates the following
        dir=`echo "$$file" | sed -e 's,/[^/]*$$,,'`
        $(mkdir_p) ...
for each distributed file which is not a directory, eliminating
4 processes for each of them.

The new code is only five processes, so the gain is obvious.

The patch passes the testsuite.

Have a nice day,
