Write a function named `mkdir' and use `command mkdir' inside it to call
mkdir from $PATH (or simply use /usr/bin/mkdir if you are sure that is
where it is).

It doesn't matter where you define it as long as it is available where
you need it.  Either way, you don't need aliases.  If you go the shell
script route, you will need to use the full pathname inside that script.
