dnu publish fails if there's no wwwroot folder

[friism]

Take, for example, the HelloMVC project:

# rm -rf wwwroot/
# dnu publish --out /tmp/out --no-source --configuration Release
Microsoft .NET Development Utility Mono-x64-1.0.0-beta6-12120

The specified wwwroot folder 'wwwroot' doesn't exist in the project directory.

I would have expected the build to complete with no wwwroot or empty wwwroot folder. While it might be reasonable to require a wwwroot folder, it's a bit annoying, for example if one has an empty wwwroot folder that's not tracked by git.

@ChengTian did we have a work item to create a wwwroot folder when publishing if it doesn't exist?

FWIW - I hit this yesterday too...
