branch: master
commit ce66265e4f83faf8299f12e24ad53e3df8b0c7ef

    astscript-radial-profile: more portable making of temporary dir
    
    Until now the temporary directory was built with the 'mkdir -p'
    command. But the '-p' option is not portable on non-GNU operating systems.
    
    With this commit, this has been corrected by explicitly checking for the
    existance of the directory, and only running 'mkdir' when it doesn't exist.
