tarball (is not build from and) does not unpack into a versioned directory

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?

pull the tarball and unpack it

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

$ tar zxf skipfish-1.05b.tgz
$ ls

and we see: 
README  skipfish  skipfish-1.05b.tgz

rather than a nice versioned directory, permitting easier 'diff'ing,
deltas, and avoidance of error from being in the wrong place

We should have seen:

README  skipfish-1.05b/  skipfish-1.05b.tgz

perhaps

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

As above on a CentOS 5 unit

Please provide any additional information below.

Please consider this as it greatly simplifies source code management for
packaging systems.
