You're correct. I avoid developing in a DOS/4NT box when ever
possible, preferring to use Cygwin. I didn't realize that the DOS
'mkdir' would create sub-directories by default, and this is not a
function I'm used to with 'mkdir' under Cygwin or Linux. It's been a
few weeks since I was doing anything with the wireshark sources, and
last time I did, I used cmd.exe.
So, my mistake.
