"mk mkdirs" fails on Nt

[GoogleCodeExporter]

"mk mkdirs" fails on Nt (windows xp).

the target should be "mkdirs-nt", not "mkdirs-rcsh".

"cat" is not installed.  "cat" is also not good enough, the directories to 
create would end with a ^M.  the awk invocation does work for me.

perhaps we can force calling windows' mkdir.exe (regardless of PATH) instead, 
it can already create multiple compontents for a path.  otherwise, the patch to 
utils/mkdir.c adds a -p option.  a new binary mkdir.exe would have to be 
installed too.

i'm not sure. the -p option is generally useful, but i strongly discourage 
using hg alone to download the software, instead of downloading the .zip and 
unpacking it.
