No, it shouldn't (at least there are no such strict requirements
for it). Cygnus tree is special - its top level is shared between
GCC, GDB, binutils, etc, etc. That's why djunpack.bat should be 
unified. For a non-Cygnus tree based GNU package it is OK to have
ad-hoc djunpack.bat.

Yup. There will be some dir for those files.

Yes, it seems it's the way I'll go.
