Patch do-fetch.sh to do mkdir DISTDIR only if onexistant

In do-fetch.sh, there's a unconditional 'mkdir -p "${dp_DISTDIR}"'
This doesn't work if ${DISTDIR} exists and is a symbolic link.
I'm not aware of problems with DISTDIR beeing a symlink, so here's a patch
which only does 'mkdir' if DISTDIR doesn't exist at all – no checks for
read/write permissions suitable at that point, nor if the link is dead.
Further check's shouldn't be affected, if there are any in place (long time ago
I included own Makefiles doing such checks because they were missing at that
time – haven't checked if that changed during the last 5 years)
