Description SpanKY gentoo-dev 2007-04-17 23:41:43 UTC 
unpack only accepts arguments in the form of:
<file with no directory components as it will be found in $DISTDIR>
./<path to a local file>

this is done on purpose so as to prevent confusion between unpacking files that appear in both $DISTDIR and in $PWD
