You can still do this if you need to.  Find the base unpack directory
using the algorithm in my previous e-mail (or a suitable click command
once one exists); then read $BASE/.click/info/$PACKAGE.manifest.

My gut feel is that needing the full manifest will be fairly rare.  If
it turns out not to be, I can add a helper to print it given a path
within an unpacked package, which should solve this problem.
