Thanks David for testing this and confirming that it didn't need to
be created formerly.

It seems like creating it if it doesn't exist might be a useful addition
to either 'setup' or 'env-prep' (or perhaps 'download').  Otherwise, if
the user must do it manually when starting out with oi-userland, the step
needs to be added to the documentation.
