add -p to mkdir invocation

Trying to build 1.043 on a clean Debian/unstable fails with:

...
chmod 644 blib/arch/auto/Gnome2/Gnome2.bs
Parsing XS files...

mkdir blib/lib/Gnome2
mkdir: cannot create directory 'blib/lib/Gnome2': File exists
make[1]: *** [blib/lib/Gnome2/enums.pod] Error 1

This seems to be caused by the newly added line in Makefile.PL:

mkdir blib/lib/\$(NAME)

Adding -p to that command allows the build to proceed successfully. The attached patch does exactly that.

Thanks for considering,
     dam, Debian Perl Group

Should be fixed in 1.044.
