Poul/Paul - comments here?

Hmmmmmm!!!  I think this is some evil with Poul's all-singing, all
dancing magic extract.sh that has never actually worked.  I voted for
making it know how to extract ONE kind of distribution in the
beginning, was overruled, and now it looks like I'm about to have my
way after all as this is simply not acceptable.

I'll look into it.  Looks like I'll be rolling another snapshot soon
after all, since a lot of changes have hit the tree recently.  Sigh..
