Having something that interacts with the live eclasses gives you all you
need to end up with a good tarball with the minimal number of lines of
code. Obviously it could be a gentoolkit-dev/portage-utils script
instead of src_create/pack, since you just need to repack what the
src_unpack did in the ebuild.
I'm not sure how many special cases/option would be necessary for such
script, like exclude dir, one tar per dir and so on.
