How could I install mkdir in cygwin ?

Better:
$ cat > /bin/mkdirhier
mkdir -p "$@"
^D
$ chmod +x /bin/mkdirhier
(Note: ^D above means hold 'ctrl' and press 'D')
Would be even better if you put a shebang on the first line, in case it's
invoked from a non-bash shell.
Actually, I intentionally did not use a shebang... 'mkdir -p "$@"'
should work on any Bourne-like shell, although in this case '#!/bin/sh'
should suffice.
I'm used to writing portable scripts; anything other than '#!/bin/sh' is
very non-portable, and if the script needs to be run on Bourne+ (i.e.
bash or ksh), then the only options are a: try to write a wrapper that
invokes the script in bash/ksh as a here-doc (or something equally
ugly), or b: don't use a shebang. I generally pick the latter.
