#3796 /images/yui never created for Ajax plugin

[shane]

Using T_2_5_0_130

Using a bare machine with fresh 'make install' of the above tag, if you
install a slashsite and either include the Ajax plugin at the install-
slashsite time or let that run and then use install-plugin, everything in

/images/yui

is not installed, thereby giving Slash::Ajax and Slash::Firehose fits.

The "yui" directory underneath htdocs/images is just never created.

Running symlink-tool shows it, too:

There's 2 solutions that I see to fixing this. One easy, and one not-so-
much. Easy is to patch Install.pm such that %stuff knows about
images/yui. The more difficult thing to do would be to have the
installer look at every htdoc= line, break it for paths, and if each step
doesn't exist mkdir it.

I chose the 'easy' path. See attached patch ;)

patch also addresses incomplete/missing 'MANIFEST' file in plugins/
Ajax.
