[PD] mkdir in motex/system

[William Brent]

I used [motex/system] in a recent project because it was the only object
that can create directories in Linux, Mac OS, and Windows. So I can confirm
it loads and works on all platforms. But yes...it's very minimal, doesn't
report errors, and you have to deal with backlashes for the Windows case.
