right... but nevertheless I found it much less
useable and I felt a
lot of the tools had rough edges, as well as changing "mkdir
--parents" into "mkdir -p" you had to account for different behaviour
which was in most cases more naive.
mkdir introduced the -p option with SunOS-4.0 (Spring 1988).
This is long before gmkdir apeared....you need to correct your standoint.
