Export feature #27

Some kind of way to export so people can download and build from a tarball instead of Git

jhs commented 12 years ago

One big problem is that git reset and other tricks are used in several places to restore the checkout to its original state.

What might be best is to use a different restore trick, for the Git-based builds and the exported tarballs, and then use Git itself to notice if anything ever fails to reset itself back to normal.
