well, cpack could do that kind of stuff, no? I recall the first port
of cmake used that.

I'm not sure why Gyuyoung did that approach, likely to get the
tarballs-from-git-tags feature of github in a lightweight mode... then
using git-archive features may do (it's kinda of simple to blacklist
tests stuff and slim the tarball to 50mb or so)
