Unpacking dnsmap-0.24.tar.gz results in a mess

$ tar zxvf dnsmap-0.24.tar.gz

dnsmap.c
dnsmap.h

Please create a directory and repack.

Simple clean extraction can be done with:
mkdir dnsmap-0.24; tar zxvf dnsmap-0.24.tar.gz -C dnsmap-0.24

But is this really necesary ;)

attached is a wireshark pcap file representing the tool error capture

I've created a quick manpage for dnsmap as part of an effort to put together a 
package for Fedora — it's based on dnsmap's own help output.

Let me start by saying, "outstanding tool!!"

I think it'd be even more handy if there was a command line parameter that
would let the user specify the DNS server to be queried.

Just a thought!

Thanks fellas!

Use CFLAGS, add an install target to the Makefile
