I had a tarballs.tar.gz to lessen the number of files to download. Altho,
upon reflection, I could see that would increase bandwidth usage.
A separate manifest file sounds good.
Ok, well, I went and did all that. :)

The script looks for all files matching the pattern *.diffs.tar.gz(yes, it
allows multiple patch archives. This could be used to share between sources),
then everything else that matches *.tar.gz is placed into a tarballs
variable. The first listed tarball is assumed to be orig.tar.gz, and special
care is taken to ensure that it unpacks into a properly named directory.
All other tarballs and patches are extracted/applied by cd'ing into the target
directory first.
Each .diffs.tar.gz contains a file named 'dsc' which holds the Patches field
from the first version.
Comments? Suggestions?
ps: Yes, this script does have a good amount of error/sanity checking. It
doesn't, however, clean up after itself(I hope to rectify this).
