It improve's the 'make DESTDIR=.... install' command.  This one is now 
succesfull.  The 'make distcheck' still fails with the 'no permission':
/bin/sh ../mkinstalldirs /srv/www/html/server/admin/addressbook
mkdir -p -- /srv/www/html/server/admin/addressbook
mkdir: cannot create directory `/srv/www/html': Permission denied
make[3]: *** [install-wsaddressbookDATA] Error 1

To me it looks like that 'distcheck' misses support to create directories that 
are not prefixed with an automake variable, is that possible?
