Actually, not *completely* useless.  You know we have an @option
directive for doing an in-place extract, right?

@option extract-in-place
@cwd /usr/local
bin/emacs
lib/...

Would, for example, turn the bloated emacs package into something not
requiring any temporary space to extract..  I think in this case it's
not so much a question of useless options as it is undocumented
ones. :-)

The following @cwd is mandatory with extract-in-place.  You aren't
allowed to override the prefix of an extract-in-place package.
