While we're asking for more thought and work by the stuffer,
I'd like to suggest that people putting together stuffit files help the
rest of us out by stuffing everything into a folder so that unstuffing
will result in a single folder holding all the files. It's hard to
automate unstuffing multiple archives when folders need to be created.
