+ makeself.sh is a small shell script that generates a self-extractable tar.gz
+ archive from a directory. The resulting file appears as a shell script
+ (many of those have a .run suffix), and can be launched as is. The archive
+ will then uncompress itself to a temporary directory and an optional arbitrary
+ command will be executed (for example an installation script). This is pretty
+ similar to archives generated with WinZip Self-Extractor in the Windows world.
+ Makeself archives also include checksums for integrity self-validation
+ (CRC and/or MD5 checksums)."
