possible bug in wdired and patch

I have been using this patch against wdired 1.9.2 for some time, and
only just remembered. (this is not the version in emacs, but its very
similar)

The problem is that when you revert the wdired buffer to dired mode,
the original command line that was used to make the dired buffer isnt
used. This means wdired does the wrong thing when reverting to a dired
buffer made with "find" for instance.

The patch adresses this.

The second part of the patch is for creating parent directories if
there arent any. This is a new feature I suppose, and it isnt
necessary for the bugfix.
