No.  This was a response to Mikhail's message about a single
downloadable binary image.  That would already have a tar/zip
task which could include the resource files from src without needing
an additional copy task.

I was merely point out the requirement for a downloadable binary did
really make any difference to the argument about copying (or not) the
resource files.
