OK, you mean that you have a project which uses files which are spread over
the entire filesystem, not just a single directory or subdirectories of the
project, right?

Well, in that case, I assume that packing the data, then taking the big
.blend file to another computer, then unpacking it is the logical solution.
However, I didn't know that unpack had such problems with creating usable
filenames. That needs to be fixed then.
