So my build system bootstraps itself by creating various directories, 
downloading a tgz of jar files, installing them locally and then 
setting a classpath <path>.

It seems that there is no way to just create a <path>.  It needs to
happen as part of a tag that takes a path or outside of any task.

Therefore, I've written a <generate-path> task which takes a <path>
argument and only puts it in the project namespace.

Is there a better way to do this?  Is this a generally useful task?
