I've made a first pass at this. It'll only really been finalized once  
we've been through it once.

Ok. Could you make the following changes to scripts/make_tarball.sh?
1) Remove the archive tagging stuff.
2) Uses svn export on a local directory to create the build  
directory. Example:

debian ~/temp/plplot-test : svn export ~/OpenSource/plplot/tags/v5_7_4

Where ~/temp/plplot-test would be the release build directory (/tmp/ 
plplot-dist-prep?) and ~/OpenSource/plplot/tags/v5_7_4 would be the  
directory that the script was originally executed in.

As outlined in README.Release_Manager_Cookbook, the new approach is  
going to be create a branch in the tags directory for the release.  
The rest of the release build process will then be done working off  
the contents of this directory. When the release checks out the RM  
will commit this directory to Sourceforge.
