Automake VPATH, error pages install, and a parallell make race

Meant to send this here, not squid-bugs...

The error pages install target cannot handle VPATH correctly.

There also seems to be some race conditions if running a parallell
install. Tried "make -j 4 install" and it crashed on the first attempt
when installing mime.conf, second attempt went just fine but then
directory structure was already created, partly populated etc..

The error seen was:

/opt/sfw/bin/ginstall: cannot create regular file
`/home/users/h/hn/hno/sol-sunpro-gnu/etc/mime.conf': No such file or
directory

which should be from the following command

  /opt/sfw/bin/ginstall -c squid
/home/users/h/hn/hno/sol-sunpro-gnu/bin/squid
/opt/sfw/bin/ginstall -c -m 644 ../../../squid/src/mime.conf.default
/home/users/h/hn/hno/sol-sunpro-gnu/etc/mime.conf

Probably is missing some dependency there to ensure mime.conf is
installed after mime.conf.default.

Henrik
