Hi,

There is a somewhat popular bioinformatics program muscle whose download 
tgz is a tar bomb. The bomb moniker seems especially appropriate here, 
since it made the gnu-build-system error out, and patching 
gnu-build-system requires a lot of rebuilding. In the attached patches I 
fixed gnu-build-system so that the "chdir" is omitted when there is no 
directory to chdir into, and then added muscle itself.

Is it OK in these rare instances to put the archive contents into the 
directory as-is, or is something more complex like making a directory 
and moving everything there more appropriate?

I imagine it might be best to let this slide into the next core-updates.

Thanks,
ben
