Yep, definitely. That way you could just tar it all up as a set.
And end users should untar it to make sure that everything gets
installed where it should be. etc.

I think that is actually what was also suggested by the submittor
of the existing feature request I mentioned in my other response.
Regardless, it is definitely the way I plan to do it, and it is
not tecnically difficult at all to implement (hint hint to anybody
who wants to submit a patch). It just takes time to make the
change a test it.
