Behavior of 'mkdir'

[WMennerich]

It depends on what we want to have:
The octave 'mkdir' is more accurate: If a directory already exists,
it can not be created. Hence, the behavior of octave seems to me more
correct.
If you get a 'true' from 'mkdir' with octave, you know that the directory
exists and it is empy.
If you get a 'true' from 'mkdir' with Matlab, you only know, that the
directory
exists and you must do an extra check whether it is empty or not.

best, Wolfgang
