First off, here is my make version:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
C:\code\allegro>make -v
GNU Make version 3.79.1, by Richard Stallman and Roland McGrath.
Built for mingw32

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Regarding mkdir on Windows XP, it will automatically create any
in-between paths. So a mkdir c:\foo\foo\foo\foo will always succeed
(if there isn't a file named foo) if the last folder doesn't exist.
Under Win 9x, such functionality does not exist.
