  [ From Dave Tweten ]
  
  POSIX.2 looks pretty unequivocal to me, and it agrees with you.
  
  Under the explanation of the "-p" option, it says, "Each dir operand that
  names an existing directory shall be ignored without error."  Under the
  explanation of exit status zero, it says, "All the specified directories were
  created successfully, or the-p option was specified and all the specified
  directories now exist."
  
  Seems to me POSIX requires exactly the behavior you want.
  
  [ And I've made the change, which is also now compatible with 1.x - jkh ]
