What I meant is that I would agree with `mkdir -p' moving from a stand
alone shell script into `missing', that's homogenous and much in the
spirit of `missing'.

But I have no problem either with a separate shell script.

By the way, why do you say it is useful in its own right?

Basically it's an `automissing'.

        http://www.gnu.org/software/shtool/shtool.html

The Good Thing of shtool is that it offers a sane environment to the
developers: individual understandable shell scripts, and when in
release mode, it packs them all together into a single shtool.
