Hello, some Java programs follow the windows install method "put everything into a directory", and the "Everything" is shipped via zipfile. So sometimes it is easier to unzip (or unbsdtar) the whole bunch to $startdir/pkg/somewhere rather than to $startdir/src/somewhere.

Sounds weird. But well, I guess it makes sense to try using bsdtar first, since it is in core/base. bsdtar is included in libarchive package which is a dep of pacman, so it will be installed on every system. Not unzip though.
