Failed to instantiate file "default.master"

I was building a new solution package that deployed a site definition, and when I created a new site from that definition I got the error "Failed to instantiate file "default.master" from module "DefaultMasterPage": Source path "default.master" not found.".
It turns out that I wrote the wrong folder name in the webtemp xml file. Thank you Bjarne L. Gram for writing about this.
