I aggree, that under a secure-by-default premise the directory should be created
700. I also aggree, that introducing the proposed fixed would violate said
premise and is thus not the apropriate solution.

The user-directory is currently being created when the configmgr is first
bootstrapped. It's kind of a side-effect when seen from the perspective of the
main application. The main application would create it, if it wasn't already
there, but in the current implementation it will always be there before the
userinstall code is reached.

If the osl::File API is extended as Matthias (mhu) proposes one of two thing
needs to happen:
a) the configmgr implementation must use the extended interface and creeate the
user-dir according to the secure-by-default premise, or
b) the creation of the user directory must be the responsibility of the main
application and the configmgr must no longer be allowed to create it's own
user-layer if the base directory isn't available.

I would prefere alternative (b), since it does away with an intransparent
side-effect.
