[jcifs] create directory hierarchy - mkdirs()

[Klemens.Dickbauer.extern at HVBSystems.com]

Hi!

afaik the api of SmbFile should be relatively close to the one of
java.io.File.
there a method 'mkdirs()' exists to create a full directory hierarchy at
once. since
i'm doing an abstraction class for both File and SmbFile a mkdirs()-method
in SmbFile
as well seems appropriate and handy for me.
i tried to implement one, but using a recursive (very easy ;) descent to a
file that exists
might be quite ineffective (and not stable), so there might be a better
solution of delegating
to some lower-level cifs call.
sorry, i'm quite new and unknowing of this SMB stuff (-:
