[svn] If the archive contains one directory with the "wrong" name, ask the user
what they want to do to extract it.

Also add a switch to prevent being asked this question, for use in scripts
and the like.

Things which I have a use case/anti-use case for:
* Figure out what the deal is with strerror.
* Better error messages (file doesn't exist, isn't readable, etc.)
* Interactivity: ask about overwriting, recursing, etc.
* Consistently raise and handle exceptions.

Things that are generally good:
* Better tests.
* Better error messages.

Things I think might be good but can't prove:
* Consider having options about whether or not to make sane directories,
  have tarbomb protection, etc.
* Use zipfile instead of the zip commands.
* Processing from stdin.
* Extracting control.tar.gz from deb files.
* shar support.
