I know it's a native dialog, but there are definitely more modern
versions available than the one offered by Tk.

Also, I know it's possible to *type* a non-existent folder name into
the dialog and then, once returned, have the calling app create the
missing folder.  Unfortunately, that just doesn't seem natural to many
Windows Users, and specifically, has proven confusing to some of my
end-Users.

So, what would it take to add a "-newfolderbutton" option to the
dialog?

Figure out how to enable the new style choose directory dialogs at the
C level?
