artemp/mapnik — Issue #801: better error message when saving an image and directory does not exist

Currently if 'foo' does not exist:

{{{
#!python
im.save('foo/map.png')
}}}

will fail with:

{{{
RuntimeError: Could not write file to foo/map.png
}}}

It would be nice if mapnik would either create the directory and not fail or at least fail with a message that explains why.
