[M3devel] CM3_INSTALL_PREFIX

[Dragiša Durić]

There is no problem in CM3_INSTALL_PREFIX, but in situations where
make_dir tries to make ".bin/.." when "..bin/" still does not exist.

Problem is recent, it started to happen after you make INSTALL_ROOT
relative to cm3 binary location.

Solution: Exterminate .. from paths in cm3cfg.common.

Apropos CM3_INSTALL_PREFIX - I am maybe it's only "client" for now - as
it's used to populate tree during RPM builds. But it's straightforward
solution to any binary packaking problem.
