Right click option to extract rpm package

Requirement: Rox or Thunar file manager
I have added 'exploderpm' to the package even though recent
puppies have this small utility already.

Here's a simple script I call extract_rpm-1.0.pet

It's only purpose is to put a right click menu option
to extract a rpm package (it must have a .rpm extension)

Just right click on file and choose 'Extract here'.
(Thunar uses 'SendTo' menu)

The original file will remain. A new folder will be created.
There will be a warning if a similar name is in use. Paths will be
preserved . (A rpm source package will be converted to gzip package)

New version 1.2

It now will extract all rpm packages consistently.

I have added 'exploderpm' to the package even though recent
puppies have this small utility already.

It will use 'exploderpm' rather than rpm2cpio to do the extraction.

Much better
