Thread-topic: pcp updates: build packaging
Hi Ken,

Just a heads up - this commit involved fairly deep surgery
to Makepkgs, in order to move to generating the source tar
file via git instead of make.  In particular, that problem
where the Debian build needs debian/control came back (the
chicken-and-egg situation there); there simply has to be a
debian/control file in the final source.  So, we do both a
generation step and a default-build-for-the-buildd network
kind of setup, with Makepkgs taking on the more difficult
case of running configure before dpkg-buildpackage.

I've tested rpm, deb and solaris packaging.  Mac should be
fine, as nothing Mac-specific changed, but I'll check that
too soon also.

I expect it to work on all the QA farm hosts, its working on
all the boxes I've tried so far - just lemme know if not, it
will probably be something I can easily pinpoint - after so
much time in the rats nest today! :)

cheers.
