Well...mildly horrible (and thanks for showing me how to do it). It
would be nice to have #fileInMemberNamed: handle this for you. Or, have
a separate method #fileInSARMemberNamed:.

It was late when I wrote that. ;) What I mean is instead of embedding a
SAR within another SAR, you would embed the unzipped directory tree in a
SAR (within some directory name). For example, if I'm embedding Bar.sar
within Foo.sar, I would instead embed the contents of Bar.sar within a
directory called Bar inside Foo.sar. That's not such a big deal though.
