I am using cygwin on Windows.  cygwin supports several different methods of
specifying paths, e.g.,

c:/cygwin/home/foo
//c/cygwin/home/foo
/cygdrive/c/cygwin/home/foo
/home/foo      (c:/cygwin/home is mounted as /home)

As it turns out, mkdir -p fails with the path spec I was using
in my makefile, e.g.,

//c/cygwin/home/foo

It seems to work fine with the other versions. So...

Never mind.

mkdir -p //c/cygwin/home/foo
