  POSIX specification:@* @url{http://www.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/functions/mkdir.html}
  
  Gnulib module: mkdir
  
  Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @item
  This function is declared in different header files (namely, @code{<io.h>} or
  @code{<direct.h>}) on some platforms:
  mingw, MSVC 9.
  @item
  When the argument ends in a slash, the function call fails on some platforms.
  @item
  This function mistakenly succeeds on @samp{mkdir("d/./",mode)} on
  some platforms:
  Cygwin 1.5.x, mingw, MSVC 9.
  @item
  On Windows platforms (excluding Cygwin), this function is called @code{_mkdir}
  and takes only one argument.  The fix (without Gnulib) is to define a macro
  like this:
  @smallexample
  #define mkdir ((int (*)()) _mkdir)
  @end smallexample
  or
  @smallexample
  #define mkdir(path,mode) _mkdir (path)
  @end smallexample
  @end itemize
  
  Portability problems not fixed by Gnulib:
  @itemize
  @end itemize
