The files under /pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.7-RELEASE are in exactly
the same format as they are distributed on the official FreeBSD CD-ROMs.
The "whacky format" is a .tar.gz file that has been split in pieces
with split(1).  As I have explained in another reply of mine, the
install.sh script that can be found in the src/ subdirectory will do
the proper magic and install the sources under /usr/src for you if you
run it as root.
