Tarball not properly packaged

Not a bug in the code, but a flaw in the way it's packaged.
Unpacking the download via bunzip2 and then tar xvf
does not unpack in the "friendly" manner (by creating a
directory and putting everything into it), but rather
spews its contents all over wherever it's unpacked.
If someone unpacks this in their webroot assuming it'll
behave like a normal .tar file, it's going to mess with
what they already have. (For example, overwriting
index.php, and their admin/ directories, both of which
likely exist.)

Thanks for the heads up. I'll post a warning on the site
until I am able to repackage the tarball.
