In the NO_PERL_MAKEMAKER=YesPlease fallback case, make the directory that will contain each module when installing it (simulating "install -D") instead of hardcoding "Git/SVN/Memoize is the deepest level". This should make this codepath which is not used often on development machines a little easier to maintain.

Yes, I think so.

Wasn't sure if "install -D" or "dirname" is portable, so this patch avoids them.
