   Berto, all this stuff is more brainless than you think.  The
   sidai:ALL proto-package (sidai/package/ALL.xml),
   `assemble-source' method, defaults the PKG_TGZ_FILE param to
   <pkgname>-<ver>.tar.gz.  That's what most packages use.

Will:

Sure.  My problem was that after seeing the error message about not
finding gzip-1.3.tar, I mistakenly inferred that Arusha required .tar
everywhere, then proceeded to unzip all of my .tar.gz files.  Like I said,
every step a misstep.  :-(
