   Description
  </h2>
  <div class="indent">
   <p>
    Check whether mkdir() is mkdir or _mkdir, and whether it takes one or two
    arguments.
   </p>
   <p>
    This macro can define HAVE_MKDIR, HAVE__MKDIR, and MKDIR_TAKES_ONE_ARG,
    which are expected to be used as follows:
   </p>
   <pre>
  #if HAVE_MKDIR
  #  if MKDIR_TAKES_ONE_ARG
       /* MinGW32 */
  #    define mkdir(a, b) mkdir(a)
  #  endif
  #else
  #  if HAVE__MKDIR
       /* plain Windows 32 */
  #    define mkdir(a, b) _mkdir(a)
  #  else
  #    error "Don't know how to create a directory on this system."
  #  endif
  #endif
</pre>

dnl Note:
dnl =====
dnl I have not implemented the following suggestion because I don't have
dnl access to such a broken environment to test the macro.  So I'm just
dnl appending the comments here in case you have, and want to fix
dnl AC_FUNC_MKDIR that way.
dnl
dnl |Thomas E. Dickey (dickey@herndon4.his.com) said:
dnl |  it doesn't cover the problem areas (compilers that mistreat mkdir
dnl |  may prototype it in dir.h and dirent.h, for instance).
dnl |
dnl |Alexandre:
dnl |  Would it be sufficient to check for these headers and #include
dnl |  them in the AC_TRY_COMPILE block?  (and is AC_HEADER_DIRENT
dnl |  suitable for this?)
dnl |
dnl |Thomas:
dnl |  I think that might be a good starting point (with the set of recommended
dnl |  ifdef's and includes for AC_HEADER_DIRENT, of course).
