Ada doesn't include mkdir as the existence of directories is OS and
not language specific. The same, BTW, goes for C or C++.

With most C or C++ compilers there comes a library that implements the
mkdir function. Most standard Ada compilers do not, instead relying on
a standard POSIX binding for OS specific functions (thus making the
program portable over environments) or a OS specific binding.

In this case you need to use the Win32 API binding. Documentation for
it is on-line with OA.
