Is there a way to create a new .META. table if I lost it?  For example, I'm
getting this exception everywhere:

org.apache.hadoop.hbase.TableNotFoundException: .META. (NativeException)


The add_table script doesn't appear to handle .META., giving this error:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: Illegal first character <46> at 0.
User-space table names can only start with 'word characters': i.e.
[a-zA-Z_0-9]: .META.


And the hbase shell will only create user-space table names.  Restarting the
hbase master also does not appear to re-create it.

I'm using 0.20.6.
