[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Tags: patch

If a zip file is of the following contents,

    a/some-text.txt
    a/b/some-other.txt

and you mark all files and extract them to the directory /tmp/test/, the current copy
command bugs out since `write-to-region' complains about /tmp/test/a/ and
/tmp/test/a/b/ not existing.

If you tried to extract a single file a/some-text.txt after answer /tmp/
to the prompt, the C command fails due to the above reason.

This patch creates the relevant directories if they don't exist.  But
perhaps the patch should be more robust?  I.e., if /tmp/test/a was a
file, then it should error?
