Details:

The method in the summary does not create directories correctly when
withIntermediateDirectories == NO. In this case, it creates the last path
component in the current directory, which is the wrong behaviour. Please refer
to: 

http://developer.apple.com/library/mac/#documentation/Cocoa/Reference/Foundation/Classes/NSFileManager_Class/Reference/Reference.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/20000305-SW5

I've created a patch that fixes this so it will create the right directory,
but only under the correct circumstances. I've also added a test case for it
too.

Note that I do not use -createDirectoryAtPath:attributes: because it is
implemented to create intermediate directories (even though it shouldn't).
