Update of bug #30650 (project octave):

                Severity:              3 - Normal => 1 - Wish               
                 Summary: mkdir should create hierarchy => Feature Request:
mkdir should create hierarchy

Follow-up Comment #1:

Making this change would make Octave more Matlab compatible as the Matlab
function already attempts to create directories which don't exist.  See the
remarks section of

http://www.mathworks.com/access/helpdesk/help/techdoc/ref/mkdir.html

Realistically, it shouldn't be that difficult to implement.  Octave pulls the
mkdir function from gnulib for portability reasons.  Gnulib already has a
mkdir module which implements 'mkdir -p' and creates the necessary intervening
directories.  See a description of the module at:

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=blob_plain;f=modules/mkdir-p
