    Make a new dict out of two lists. The first list provides keys,
    the 2nd provides values. The cond is a function taking 2 arguments:
    key and value. Example: lambda k,v:v%2==0
    A valid item means its cond(key, value) is true. Only valid items
    are included in the returned dict.

    Note:
    mkDict(a,b) (without the conditional check) is equavilant to
    dict(zip(a,b)), which is much faster. If you know there's no
    conditional check, better use dict(zip(a,b)) instead.
