I agree with Peter. When you build MiNT for e.g. 060, you should end up
with a directory tree that can just be copied to the boot-drive. Also,
it should not include anything else than files that are intended to be
used on that particular architecture.

Then split all the tools into a separate sourcetree, and distribute them
separately (e.g. "minttools-trunk-20072011.zip").

Finally, distribute all archives as zips as well. tar and bzip are fine,
but not handy if you install MiNT from TOS.
