Without having munged the code itself, just by watching it run and 
checking out the timestamps on the plugins afterwards, it simply 
replaces EVERYTHING in the plugins directory with the contents of the 
all.tar... file. You can run it with the -v switch, so you get a list of 
what got unpacked, which you could diff with what was there before.
