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.
