WebdavFile is a lost piece of code, that, as far as I remember, never
had its use within the library itself. So it propably would have been
better if it had gotten deleted along with the other GUI related
stuff.

Now you can conclude that you should use WebdavResource. WebdavFile
might be useful if you are going to build a WebDAV enabled
filechooser. Note that there were two such attempts in Slide 1.0.16,
none of them really finished.

The depth has no effect for MKCOLs. WebDAV has no equivalent of a
'mkdir -p', so you have to create the directories step by step.
