You just do...
<tempfile property="my-temp" suffix=""/>
<mkdir dir="${my-temp}"/>
The creates the directory in basedir, and by using tempfile you guarantees
that the directory does not already exist. But if the directory did already
exists, mkdir will do nothing, there is no need to check first.
(BTW thanks for the XSLT FAQ. I spend a lot of time out there)
