Hi. I just wanted to mention that it is standard practice to make archives (tarballs, zips, etc.) with subdirectories inside. It is considered not just bad form, but actually somewhat rude to dump many files into the root of an archive.
Someone unpacking the archive into, say, wp-content/plugin/ will have files spewed all over their pristine plugin/ dir instead of in a nice, self-contained wp-backup/ dir or some such.
99 out of 100 Wordpress plugins follow this convention; indeed, it is a UNIX convention in general. You would do well to follow it in the interest of positive user experience.

Just a suggestion. :) Have a nice day!
You're right. I've fixed the problem, and I apologize for the inconvenience.
