Heh, that was actually a hack to be able to run pg_basebackup on the
same machine as the database with the tablespaces. It will be removed
before commit :-) (It was also in the wrong place to work, I realize I
managed to break it in a refactor) I've put in a big ugly comment to
make sure it gets removed :-)

And yes, using pg_mkdir_p() is good. I used to do that, I think I
removed it by mistake when it was supposed to be removed elsewhere.
I've put it back.
