[svn] Fix various bugs in the recursive extraction.

First, 5.0 introduced a regression where it wouldn't find archives hidden
in subdirectories. So fix that.

Then recursive extraction would get confused if the archive was a ONE_ENTRY
and we decided to wrap it or just extract it here. Fix that too: the
extractor keeps track of where it thinks it's extracting to, and then the
handler will change that if necessary.

There are unit tests for all this.

I twiddled some other small thing while I was at it but now I forget what.

To do:
* Add ability to list included archives for recursive extraction
* Make C-c not print a stack trace.

Things which I have a use case/anti-use case for:
* Support pisi packages (http://paketler.pardus.org.tr/pardus-2007/)
* Steal ideas from <http://martin.ankerl.com/files/e>.
* More 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.
* shar support.
