Its a bit hard to understand what you write, but it seemed like you
wanted to make the thing unpack in a fixed directory. But only one
application can unpack in that directory (otherwise, when do you clean
it up? other instances could be running, furthermore, another user could
own the directory and make you run whatever code he wanted, etc) It also
means that if you run two different bundles they would unpack different
things in the same place.

Maybe i misunderstood you. That is completely possible. 

But anyway, I don't see this as very interesting compared to other
approches.
