That might indeed be a good idea, but it doesn't help those people who are 
trying to use Rekall today.

The distribution tarball contains temporary files and files from your local 
build that will conflict with those that someone on a system other than yours 
would produce, or at least confuse a lot.  (Well, possibly they will simply 
be overwritten, but then we have a case of a self-destructing source tree, 
which is extremely ugly.)  I suggest that you delete the files I pointed out 
in my previous mail and build a new release.  At least run "make distclean" 
before you make a distribution.
