remembered that as opposed to simply extracting the archive, we need to
specify if the archive contains a subdirectory and if it does to copy only
the contents of that subdirectory.
OK, that could be easily solved by adding the subdir as another argument
to ExtractArchiveToContainer and passing it through to the extractFile()
function in the scripts. It would just be an adjustment of the source
argument in the "$cp" line.

companies interpreting our actions as somehow altering the software.
Agreed.
> Some days ago, Colin mentioned that at least the intel 3945 has an
internal mapping of on-disk filenames to names that the driver expects.
I'll ask him if it's possible to further extend that functionality to
include directory paths.
Well, as written above extracting a subdirectory is no big deal.

wrappers for respective *ToContainer rules. I would also do that in this
case. I have the feeling that the feature might be actually needed for the
net boot archive. If net boot via WIFI is possible at all that is.

The patch in #5479 needs a few adjustments. Feel free to merge it with the
changes for this ticket, if it saves you work.
