Seeing as Jayfeather has not responded to this thread in forever, it is fairly reasonable to infer that they are no longer checking or updating it. Maso. People make tutorials to help others; they are taking time out of their life to help folks that are willing to learn, when they could be doing something else. It really is not your place to complain - sorry if this is a little blunt, but it's true.
Here's some advice I got when I once asked for something like this: If you don't do it yourself, there's really no sense of accomplishment when you are able to figure something out on your own.
Moving on to the scripts folder: make one. I'm pretty sure that's all you need to do, dude. I installed blender a couple years ago and (from what I remember - which isn't much) I didn't have a scripts folder either. I just made one where it should be and exported everything into it. Blender works fine and I have made numerous meshes for both FH and IT.
