So when a new package is rolled out, for example bim-1.0.1.tar.gz, when 
you untar it, it is unpredictable whether the directory created is 
called "bim" or "bim-1.0.1."  Some packages use the former name 
convention, some packages use the latter.

As the FreeBSD maintainer of the octave-forge-* ports, this 
unpredictability can be frustrating.  Can we decide from now on to stick 
to one convention or the other?

Thanks, Stephen
