Image a package distributed by tarballs.  More often than not, folder  
names created from those tarballs contain a version number (like hello- 
world-8.12.23 or foo-20081023).  Therefore, checking for directories  
which start with $name does make sense.  However, a specific test for  
version numbers after the name would be a better solution (who's up to  
writing one?)
