Well you do need some copy of the Mahout distro, whether from SVN or a
tarball. I imagin the latter is actually more common. The instructions
are indeed silent on this and assume you start with copy of the distro
from some source.

Possible, the locations have been moving about and not sure those
changes are in sync with my brain or the documentation. This sounds
right, and I guess it works? then we should make the directory in SVN.
