I started working on this a couple months ago, but got pulled onto some 
higher priority things before it was done.  I'll try to figure out 
exactly where I was in the next couple days and see if I have time to 
provide a patch for this.

Thanks for the explanation Kasper! It makes sense that in most cases you 
cannot expect a path to exist so its a more reasonable to decision to 
create something at a path you know exists.
