That is a list of subdirectories. But it won't work since the each 
package needs its own subdirectory. A better hiearchy would use the 
components from the package names. Hopefully, multiple levels of 
subdirectories will work.

They were simple changes to the script I wrote to repackage the 
distributed archives. I'll try to write proper setup.hint files for all 
the packages.
