Revision information in sources?

[Brian de Alwis]

I maintain a little LaTeX package for typesetting dissertations, and wanted to include the generated manual with the distributions.  I had initially thought about modifying 'export' to also take a list of non-version-controlled files to include in the zip file, but realized that I really needed to do something more sophisticated and ended up creating a simple script to control bundling up the export and naming the resulting file appropriately:
