I was wondering how to automatically support this.  Currently the
browse/restore user interface doesn't allow you to select files
from different directories in a single restore.

Perhaps there should be a config file setting that causes
BackupPC_tarCreate to automatically append the .rsrc files?
It's only needed if you are restoring files, since any directory
restore will get everything.  This config setting shouldn't be on
by default, but could be enabled for Mac clients.

Personally, I always restore single files just by downloading
the file, but I know that won't work for a Mac file that has
an important resource fork...
