Fixed.

After comparing the tarballs generated by "make dist" and
"git-export-release.sh" I have to agree. Both have issues but the "dist"
tarball will build according to our documentation on Linux, Windows, and
OS X.
"make dist" is missing:
- Quite a bit under asn1. asn1/*/CMakeLists.txt, gnm, gprscdr,
and other assorted files.
- Several CMake modules
- Many files under debian
- Many docbook files
- Several READMEs in doc
- Many files in plugins
- Most (all?) files in tools
"git-export-release.sh" is missing:
- ./configure, install-sh, other Autotoolery
- Files generated using Bison/Flex
- help/faq.txt
- packaging/macosx/Info.plist
- plugins/*/plugin.c
- ui/*/*shark-tap-register.c
It looks like you can't build from a "dist" tarball using CMake which is
something we should fix.
"Git-export-release" picks up everything in "images". I'm not sure if
this is desired or not but it's something we haven't done in the past.
