[Ecls-list] Probable si:mkdir bug

[Juan Jose Garcia-Ripoll]

I agree that mkdir may be wrong. It assumed that you are passing a
valid director syntax, which for Common Lisp means ending in / or \
depending on your platform. Indeed, I did not expect people to use it
directly, but rather ensure-directories-exist, but I see you are
enforcing some permissions. However, I will look into that issue.
