Since Gambas is maintained as a single big repository, we would need a
script which creates multiple tars from the repository after the fact.
The single big tarball is just how the base data is.
I'm not a packager for anything, but I believe something like this should
work, which the script would do for every new release of Gambas:
1. Download the big tar.
2. Do ./reconf-all to create the configure scripts in each directory.
3. For each component (and possibly other parts you want to have a tar
for) create the tar archive.
Now you have your tars with a configure script inside each.
Be sure to use the --dereference option to tar because some headers are
symlinked in the source tree. You see I *believe* something like this
would work, I don't know it. That's because there might be other gimmicks
like the symlinked files which make it difficult to split the tree apart.
You should play with it a little.
