Just wanted to mention that order is extremely important with package
creation. If you have @cwd /foo/bar; @srcdir /bar/foo your files will be
picked up from /bar/foo. If you have @srcdir /bar/foo; @cwd /foo/bar
your files will be picked up from /foo/bar. @cwd changes the directory
pointer for both creation and extraction, and so if you have @cwd AFTER
@srcdir the @srcdir command effectively gets over-written.
An experiment using just @srcdir and @dstdir might be worthwhile...
