The problem is specific to ./bootstrap.  When building under MSYS from 
CMakeLists.txt, "make install" works fine.  Didn't I report a mkdir bug 
a couple months back, that it wasn't forcing the creation of 
intermediate paths?  Maybe it got fixed when doing "normal" stuff, but 
not in ./bootstrap.  Although, another difference is I installed to 
C:\Program Files\CMakeCVS, not to a MSYS /usr/local/ path.  Actually I'm 
not exactly sure why it installed to /usr/local during the ./bootstrap.  
I didn't ask it to.  Again, a few months back we were debating what the 
default path prefix should be under MSYS, and we settled on C:\Program 
Files\.  So again, maybe bugfixes are not making it into ./bootstrap.
