Thanks, I'll do some simplification as you suggest.

Yeah, I was debating whether to keep that code or just export a
creat_subdir() function instead, which I think I'll do after all.  ltt
doesn't really doesn't need much of a hierarchy beyond ltt/ or maybe
one more deep e.g. ltt/trace ltt/flight, and I doubt many other
