Some more information.  Running

  find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 grep PROG_MKDIR

tells me that the only references in Workrave to this macro are these:

  ./m4/intl.m4:  AC_REQUIRE([AM_PROG_MKDIR_P])dnl defined by automake
  ./m4/po.m4:  AC_REQUIRE([AM_PROG_MKDIR_P])dnl defined by automake

Both of these lines claim the macro is defined by automake.  I have
automake version 1.7.9 installed (Ubuntu Dapper Drake package
automake1.7 version 1.7.9-7).  None of the files supplied by this
package seem to define this macro, as revealed by this command:

  dpkg --listfiles automake1.7 | xargs grep MKDIR

Workrave's autogen.sh claims that automake version 1.7.1 is okay.
Since I have 1.7.9, I think I should be okay here.

Can anyone give any hints?

Thanks for any help!
