Bother; I forgot to commit the updated packager script. I'll get that in 
a bit.
The short version: we deliberately exclude the test suite (for reasons 
of size) from the Dyninst source tarball, and we generate a set of 
per-component tarballs that include source for those components and 
their dependencies. This *shouldn't* have significant side effects on 
the Dyninst tarball, but it will exclude those things in the main 
Dyninst git repo that are not part of Dyninst proper.
