Empty directories

[Dr. Matthias St. Pierre]

Hmmm... that might be a remnant which was forgotten during the reorganization of the
header files, see commit [1] of pull request [2].

It tested it on master, it seems like the empty directories are created by the Configure script.
Would you mind opening a GitHub issue for it?

Regards, Matthias
