I ran into a package whose top-level directory in the tar wasn't the same as the name of the package. This ensures that we'll always be untarring into the "correct" directory.
Not totally clear what that does, but it looks good, and so I put it in.
-C dir untars to dir, and --strip-components=1 skips creating the first directory from the tarfile, kinda like patch -p1
-C dir
dir
--strip-components=1
patch -p1
