Option to auto-generate needed usage foldes

Option to auto-generate folders such as IMDb, Playlists, SHOUTcast, Subtitles & Thumbs if the user has not properly created and/or addressed the folder/s in the config.xml

If you try to gernerate picture tumbnails or IMDb cover or save a playlist, etc. XBMP should scan to see if the folder is addressed in config.xml and if that addressed folder exist on the local harddrive, if not get it should give you a message saying that ***** folder does not exists, do you want XBMP to auto create it for you now? and given a "YES" "CANCEL" option. The folder should be created as a seprate subfolder under the XBMP application folder (as addressed by default in config.xml) and XBMP should be intelligent to understand where the XBMP application folder is located if it is address wrongly in the config.xml ....it should then create the folder and then correct the addressing in the config.xml

Ex. of message:

The "Tumbnails" folder does not exisit on HDD, do you want XBMP to auto create it for you?

========= YES ===== CANCEL ==========

As it is right now if the folder address in the config.xml does not exist and you try to generate tumbnails it just does not work, you don't get any feedback why or how to correct it.

Two reasons/scenarios I can think of right now are:

  1. N00b user installs a CVS build that do not include folders.
  2. The users maps the folders wrong in the XML config file.

Both resulting in functions not working and no explaination why

So creating this option to create them on demand ups the user-friendlyness of XBMC one snap, and less Tech-Support.
