Here's what I've settled on for weinre, for now. Archives organized like
this on the server:
http://people.apache.org/~pmuellr/weinre/builds/
That is, a "builds" directory, with a subdirectory per "version", and then
all the things for that version in the version directory.
When you unpack one of the archives, say <xyz>.zip, it unpacks to an <xyz>
directory in the same dir as the .zip.
This ends up yielding rediculously long names, given "pre-release" status
and incubator-itis, like
apache-cordova-weinre-2.0.0-pre-H0WVARLU-incubating-bin.tar.gz
But I'm happy with it. In theory, an "official release" would look more
like this, assuming post-incubator-graduation:
apache-cordova-weinre-3.0.0-bin.tar.gz

Nice having a tool like this. But I can't figure out the exclude options
work. I tried various flavors of this:
rat --dir . \
--exclude "*weinre.build/cached/*" \
--exclude "*weinre.build/out/*" \
--exclude "*weinre.build/tmp/*" \
--exclude "*weinre.build/vendor/*" \
--exclude "*weinre.server/node_modules/*" \
--exclude "*weinre.server/web/*"
But it didn't seem to exclude those directories, or at least not
recursively. And I can't find any doc for rat, other than the command-line
help, which is not helpful.
Good news: the only hits for weinre, after manually deleting what I didn't
want scanned, were .gitignore and .npmignore files, which I'm hoping are
safe to "exclude" as well. :-)
