Here's another nmkdir which makes all the directories in a given path.
It doesn't use expr so it's not so slow.

==========================================================

if [ $# = 0 ]
then
    echo "$0: arg count"
    exit 2
fi
CWD=`pwd`
for i in $*
do
    IFS=/
    BUILD=.
# If the directory starts with a slash we have to move there.
    if [ "`echo "$i" | cut -c1`" = "/" ]
    then
	cd "/"
    fi
    for j in $i
    do
	BUILD=${BUILD}/${j}
	if [ ! -d "$BUILD" ]
	then
	    mkdir "$BUILD"
# Remember the exit code because the test operator has its own exit code.
	    EXIT=$?
	    if [ $EXIT != 0 ]
	    then
		exit $EXIT
	    fi
	fi
    done
# cd back in case there are more arguments on the argument list that do
# not begin with slash.
    cd "$CWD"
done
