indeed, I see. This directory is created for safety. Remember that we need to 
remove the unpackaged directory when the plugin pack is uninstalled. For this, 
we need to make sure we're removing the right folder! At this point we _could_ 
rely on the convention that the folder always has the same name as the archive 
(without the version). But it's safer, and just as easy to simply create a 
folder with that name, and to unpack the archive, there.

Well, we could change the unpacking to ignore the version number. E.g. we 
could define anything after the first dash to be version information, and strip 
that. That should solve most of the problem.

What remains is that KNewStuff does not remove the old version of the archive, 
i.e. klausuR_rkward-0.9-7.tar.gz is still around. But perhaps we can take care 
of that from within RKWard as well? I'll have to think about it a while.

Regards
Thomas
