Most tgzs of source code will create a directory and
then put their contents into that. This way the user
doesn't have to explicitly create a directory and
target the output of the tar to that directory. I just
had to remove dozens of files from among the contents
of a directory that you expected to only contain a
single lx viewer subdirectory.
