Err..no, we cannot simply do that since to fetch and build rebar with rebar
you need rebar, but you may don't have it or your version may be bad one. So it
only matter to ship the right binary rebar while sources may be just included,
but not used in overall build process.
And that's right, that we should ship sources for binary components in
release tarball. I'll remove rm -rf line.
