Subject: Using rake package task- suppressing initial segment of path

I have the following trivial bit of code, just to help me figure out
how to create a more usable tarball:

  require 'rake/packagetask'
  Rake::PackageTask.new('WCV', :noversion) do |p|
    p.need_tar_gz = true
    p.package_files.include("README")
  end
when I run "rake package", it creates a pkg directory
and a tarball in that directory called "wcv.tar.gz".
when I do "tar ztf pkg/wcv.tar.gz" I see this:

wcv/
wcv/README

I need for the initial "wcv" **not** to be included.
In other words, when I run "tar ztf pkg/wcv.tar.gz" I want to see:
README

Can this be done?

Thx
