[OE-core] (v3) [PATCH 0/1] pseudo 1.6.*4*

So, pseudo 1.6.3 had a silly configure bug which could prevent it
from configuring under what turn out to be very common circumstances
if you're not me doing internal development, and very rare circumstances
in my normal pseudo development cycle, and I am not quite sure why
it worked at all in my build tests. Basically, "configure ... --prefix="
needed to specify an *existing* directory, or the configure would fail.
This is now fixed.

The other changes appear to have survived, and the one chown problem that
Mark Hatle ran into turns out to have been a task running outside of pseudo,
not a bug in pseudo itself.

Sorry for the mixup with the configure thing. The issue was a naive test:
	if [ "$(cd "$opt_prefix"; pwd)" = "$(pwd)" ]; ...
and this fails if the cd doesn't work because pwd is then just the current
directory.

The reason this test came into existence is that my usual local-dev
habit involves
	configure --prefix=~/pseudo/f
("f" being a historical name), and one time I typoed it and it appeared
to configure and build, but "make install" failed strangely.

And my normal dev cycle does include nuking that directory, but I tend
to first configure, *then* nuke that directory, and that works fine.

This Root Cause Analysis was brought to you by the letters D'OH!
