 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.
