Here's a simple patch for 'select.sh' that adds in a check to make sure
the target's directory exists -- and if not then creates it. I've
tested this patch locally and it works correctly, both when the target
directory already exists and when it does not. A similar check could be
made on the 'rm' side to remove cleared directories, but that can come
later. I came upon this issue working on ticket #25459, and I think
this is the correct solution and not to force keeping of directories
from inside the Portfile. I do not know who's in charge of this file,
nor how to commit a patch to it beyond creating a patchfile. - MLD
