Ah well I even forgot that the old method would get never lost thanks to
VCS.

Ok Marco said now on IRC that depending on SVN is okay.
So attached patch is my proposal.

Removing DISTLIST and gendistlist.sh completely and replace it with a
genreleasetarball.sh script.
make distdir doestn't seem that useful for me but shouldn't be difficult
to change that in case someone wants to have it.
Only difference is docs/mdate-sh now actually gets into the .tar.gz.
Though I wonder why it's there, it's nowhere used and I don't think it's
that usefull so I suggest to remove it completely.
