It happens whether you start up the server from apache, standalone, 
cgi-bin, whatever sets up the OpenInteract2::Context object kicks off 
the process.

However, what I left out from my earlier explanation (didn't think it 
was relevant) is that we don't do it every single time. It can be an 
expensive operation, especially if you're using network-mounted drives. 
So after the first time we only do the copying if the directory doesn't 
exist or if you've installed a new package.

You can see the docs (and code) in 
OpenInteract2::Setup::CreateTemporaryLibraryDirectory for more.
