 Gnulib module: mkdir
 
 Portability problems fixed by Gnulib:
 @itemize
 @item
+This function is declared in different header files (namely, @code{<io.h>} or
+@code{<direct.h>}) on some platforms:
+mingw, MSVC 9.
+@item
 When the argument ends in a slash, the function call fails on some platforms.
 @item
+This function mistakenly succeeds on @samp{mkdir("d/./",mode)} on
+some platforms:
+Cygwin 1.5.x, mingw, MSVC 9.
+@item
 On Windows platforms (excluding Cygwin), this function is called @code{_mkdir}
 and takes only one argument.  The fix (without Gnulib) is to define a macro
 like this:
