Yes, you COULD hide a trojan horse in the dearchiving code.  BUT,
is there not moderation on the areas where such archivers are
available?  In other words, is anything posted to an FTP site
or to .binaries that isn't tested first?  Seems to me this is
an excellent way to make sure such a trojan horse wouldn't
get too far....
