Thanks @Stew-McD.
We definitely can't merge this without some tests - I will try to add them over the break. Ping me if you get impatient.
I will also have time then to think about the question you asked. Not sure yet.
Ah yea. Maybe I was getting caught up trying to solve something that wasn't a need for anyone else. It did work for me at the time, but probably I was just procrastinating. :D An external compress, extract, change datadir, do the same thing, I guess.
I've been sick for a while and getting back into it now. I appreciate your specific and constructive comments. I'll go through and respond as soon as I can.
Continuation of last week's pull request, but now with the addition of a function to restore the entire datadir to the default dir, or somewhere else.
This is useful, for example, when working on a remote cluster.
