fcron: LiveISO has empty /var/spool => fcron fails to start

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Boot LiveISO (3.5 - 3.7)
2. Start fcron: /etc/init.d/fcron
3. It fails, see below

Solution/Hotfix:
fcron is missing /var/spool/fcron
(don't know if anything else is missing)
Either:
    `emerge -1 fcron`
or this:
    mkdir /var/spool/fcron
    chown fcron:fcron /var/spool/fcron
    chmod 6770 /var/spool/fcron
    touch /var/spool/fcron/.keep_sys-process_fcron-0

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

This is the output of fcron failing to start:
 * Starting fcron ...
 * start-stop-daemon: failed to start `/usr/libexec/fcron'
 * Failed to start fcron [ !! ]
 * ERROR: fcron failed to start

Please use labels and text to provide additional information.

Found no logs of fcron at all :( until I added '--logfilepath /var/log/fcron' 
to the $command_args in /etc/init.d/fcron
