Until recently, even builds where files were going
in /usr/share/pcb/..., PCB would produce an empty
folder /usr/share/pcb-$VERSION/ it is completely unrelated to docs, and
looks to be related to the Win32 build.

I've been annoyed by the empty dir before, but never really bothered to
track down its source.

These substitutions probably only work correctly because those sub-dirs
aren't putting anything in $(pkgdatadir) legitimately.

I've got some patches queued up which should fix these issues upstream -
assuming no other developers complain about me applying them.

Best regards,
