mkcol patch for lighttpd support

[Ask Bjørn Hansen]

I'm storing some big (~100MB) files in one installation and perlbal is  
eating up gobs of memory (gigabytes some of them ended up on).    
Rather than tracking that down I just changed to lighttpd.

lighttpd, correctly apparently, returns 405 when it won't create a  
directory that already exists.    Brad earlier - http://lists.danga.com/pipermail/mogilefs/2007-April/000886.html 
  - implied that it's important to detect.  Why do we care at all?  If  
we can't make the directory it just won't work anyway, no?  Why does  
it matter that we're sending extra bogus requests in that case?   Or  
does it just matter that the directory actually got created and we  
need to know?

If the latter, wouldn't it be better to just do a PROPFIND or some  
such after MKCOL to check that the directory is there?
