Although I haven't tested exactly this command line, I _think_ that this
is at least partially solved by the local_batch.diff patch in the CVS
patched dir.  I say "partially" because I suspect that the flist file
_may_ still end up in the sub-directory.  In any case, I'm working
toward a re-writing of batch-mode, so stay tuned.
