Because it wasn't at the top of my consciousnes -- but, ":help mkdir()"
says "not available on all systems"; and the description uses Unix
protection bits (as in numeric arguments to chmod). I suspect it doesn't
work on Windows, or not the same way. Windows has "mkdir" (make
directory, synonymous to "md") in command.com or cmd.exe but AFAIK it
hasn't got "mkdir -p".
Also, on Windows I expect ~/.vim will be replaced by ~/vimfiles, even on
LFN systems where an initial period would be possible. OK, you could
change that easily by "if has('unix')... else..." but as I said, this is
a quickly-slopped-up example which can be made better.
