(Get the code!)
The new code in this branch helps both users and developers when creating packages. It improves the build process in different ways:
setup.py:
1. Exclude files and directories that are not needed (test files and API documentation).
2. If given, use the --root option instead of --prefix to install data.
Makefile:
1. Avoid the re-build of files already created.
The Makefile also has new commands to create four different types of archives: tar, tar.gz, tar.bz2, zip.
This branch is needed for the creation of distribution packages too.
