Yeah, this tarball is just for wider testing; the one we'll use for mass-checks will be a match to whatever SVN is like on that day. However, I hadn't spotted that this change was going to make the mass-check preparations more complicated. :( Previously, we just made a tarball for people to mass-check with, using "make dist"; this now won't work since it won't include masses. Instead, I'll generate a tarball from "svn export". --j.
