Details:

configure defines MKINSTALLDIRS="\$(top_srcdir)/mkinstalldirs" which results
in MKINSTALLDIRS = @MKINSTALLDIRS@ in most Makefile.in files, however, 

po/Makefile.in.in defines MKINSTALLDIRS = $(top_srcdir)/@MKINSTALLDIRS@ which
results in a double slash in the generated Makefile.in because the
"$(top_srcdir)" variable does not get substitued at that time and the leading
"/" is left.

This is generally harmless on Unix derived systems, but on Cygwin under
windows it gets treated as a network share path

I believe that the fix is just to remove the extra "$(top_srcdir)/" in
po/Makefile.in.in since it is handled by configure while defining
MKINSTALLDIRS

I just checked cvs head and it's still wrong there and I don't see it listed
as an open bug
