Thanks Timo.

For Debian package, exe, dll, MKL header files, AP for windows are
not necessary.

I think it only needs src, data, test, doc, app/convbin, app/pos2kml,
app/rnx2rtkp, app/rtkrcv, app/str2str.
If possible, latest patchs rtklib_2.4.0_p1-p3.zip should be included
to fix bugs.

I really appreciate your work.
