ensure_directory() crashes on my system

The ensure_directory function crashes on my system:
http://github.com/fitzgen/pycco/blob/master/pycco#L238

Why are you using the fragile Popen/mkdir command to create your directory and not the much more solid os.makedirs()?

C:\TEMP\fitzgen-pycco-7f5e254\build\scripts-2.6>python pycco src/*.py
