I find the PackIt style of distributing software/documentation/sample files
to be very convenient; however, the PackIt default naming convention plays
havoc with storage of files on my Vax using XBIN.  For example, the recent
distribution of DARunner comes in as DARunner.pit, which doesn't work very
well when XBIN tries to build (.inf,.dat,.rsc) files.

Hey Mr. Chesley!! Howzabout swapping the period in the default for an
underscore?  It would certainly make things easier for me (great reason, huh?)
