For TD : is it difficult to use a new dir name when tarring version

I unpacked lynx2.8.7dev.9.tar.bz2 in /usr/local/src/
& it dumped everything into the existing lynx2.8.7 directory,
which had been created last year by lynx2.8.7dev.7.tar.bz2 .
Is it not easy to put everything into a dir named 'lynx2.8.7.d9'
(or whatever distinct name you prefer) before making the tar.bz2
file ?
To each his own. I always create a new directory having the revision
name and unpack there. I do the unpack, configure, and build with
scripts which I would otherwise have to edit with each revision.
It shouldn't be a big thing either way. I suppose I could use
$(dirname lynx*/configure) to track revision.
