That's not good enough either. We simply cannot have command line options that
have an optional argument. And since --ftp-create-dirs never had one before,
we can't add one now.

Two alternatives we have are:

1. have --ftp-create-dirs set CURLOPT_FTP_CREATE_MISSING_DIRS to 2
unconditionally

2. add a new option that can replace the existing one that allows you to set
level, or possibly one that sets it to 2 and leave the original one set it it
to 1.

But I think (1) is fine enough and will hardly make many existing users cry.

Or am I wrong?
