To add another dimension to the issue, cpio is used when extracting
the dist tarballs, and -du is specified on the cpio command line:
-d (i and p modes) Create directories as necessary.
-u (i and p modes) Unconditionally overwrite existing files. Ordi-
narily, an older file will not overwrite a newer file on disk.
So it creates the directories if they don't already exist.
See media.c for more details.
Cheers,
-Garrett
