Yeah, but if somebody needs it and it's not too intrusive... (I know  
linux from scratch uses the -v flags all the time.)

Let's see, "mkdir -vp toys" doesn't print a message if the directory  
already existed... that's correct.

(I should add this to the test suite. And while I'm there, alphabetize  
the mkdir command options. And that's a tab after the option letter,  
not two spaces. And you don't actually need a variable to store the  
return value if the if statement is reordered...)

As for ln, doesn't currently have a test suite. I should add one. (On  
the todo list...)

Anyway, applied. Thanks,

Rob
