Well, I'm torn between protecting any OS/2 users that we might already have,
and trying to get out of keeping this work-around forever.

By the way, I see now that the original reason for this work-around was for MS
Windows; if OS/2 had been the only unsupported platform then, we might not have
bothered with this work-around in the first place.

How about letting Brian Havard know (I've CC'd him) that we intend to remove
this work-around some time soon? If he can implement apr_dir_make_recursive
for OS/2 before then, that's great, otherwise any OS/2 users that there might
be will have to step forward and help themselves.

I attach the removal diff for reference.

APR can now make a dir recursively, so we don't need our own implementation.

* subversion/libsvn_subr/io.c
  (svn_io_make_dir_recursively): Just use apr_dir_make_recursive.
