Of course. That is why it is not distributed that way. 8-)

It is intended to allow you to pass a bin/makecat cachedir=/your/cache/dir
and relocate the place where you put session and tmp.

Yes, this is a bug that can be fixed by changing the template
in precopy_commands to 

	mysqladmin __MVC_MYSQLCREATEOPT__ create __MVC_SQLDB__

instead of 

	mysqladmin -u __MVC_SQLUSER__ -p__MVC_SQLPASS__ create __MVC_SQLDB__

Few blame themselves until they have exhausted all other possibilities.
