[PATCH imake 4/4] mkdirhier: use mkdir -p

[Yaakov (Cygwin/X)]

From: Yaakov Selkowitz <yselkowitz at users.sourceforge.net>

The '-p' option to mkdir(1) is required by SUSv2/Unix98, so we should be
able to rely on it on all systems we support.  Some parts need to be
left in place in order to not alter some of its ancient, shall we say,
quirks.
