Dropbear 2013.59

[Matt Johnston]

Hi all,

There are a few problems with the Makefile in 2013.59. 

- @exec_prefix@ wasn't set but configure refers to that in
  when substituting @bindir@ (!). This caused installation
  to go to /bin and /sbin rather than the prefix.
  
- Installation fails if there isn't a manpage for targets
  such as scp and dropbearmulti

I think these should be fixed now, could anyone with
problems grab the Makefile.in below, run configure again,
and check that it fixes things. I'll make a new release in a
few days with this fix - please contact me if there are
other things broken.

Cheers,
Matt
