Thanks everybody! Your responsiveness is part of why, as a new person to Ant,
I love it already. In comparision to other forums I've posted questions to in
the past, this forum is by far the best I've seen.

Ok, not everyone does have a look into the source ;-)
oata.taskdefs.MKdir.java:036: public class Mkdir extends Task {
oata.taskdefs.MKdir.java: : ...
oata.taskdefs.MKdir.java:048: public void execute() throws BuildException
{
oata.taskdefs.MKdir.java: : ...
oata.taskdefs.MKdir.java:059: if (!dir.exists()) {
oata.taskdefs.MKdir.java:060: boolean result = mkdirs(dir);
I'll put a not into the manual (revision 462786).
