Why doesn't FileAppender create directories?

Hi,

is there a rationale why a FileAppender (log4j 1.1.3) doesn't create the
directories that are part of its "file" option if they don't exist? (the
file itself _is_ created when all directories exist.) It results in a
java.io.FileNotFoundException for every single log attempt.

Maybe an additional "createDirs" option could be used to control the
appender's behaviour. 

Thanks in advance
Martin
