Basically, to deal with unversioned tarballs and Documentation.pdf files we
had a solution for years: DIST_SUBDIR.  I'd be glad to have something more
robust, but don't see good alternative ATM.  Even if try to transfer mtime
of the original badly-named distfile to DISTFILE_DEST, this already smells
weird. :(

Since right now we seem to be talking about GH mostly, I hope Bryan et al.
can find a way to deal with it without having to bring in some disruptive
changes to our framework.
