Issue 60: Tarball of 1.3.3 has object files and .svn directories;  
impossible to build without clean on MacPro
http://code.google.com/p/postgis/issues/detail?id=60

New issue report by xander:
What steps will reproduce the problem?

1. Download the tarball for postgis 1.3.3 at
http://postgis.refractions.net/download/ .
2. Unpack the tarball.
3. Notice that there are .svn directories.  cd to lwgeom.  Notice that
there are .o files.
4. Attempt to build on a new Xeon MacPro; the linker will complain that .o
files are not built for the correct architecture.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

I see compiled .o files in the source tarball and .svn directories.  I
expect these not to exist.  Note that they do not exist in the 1.2.*  
tarballs.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Postgis 1.3.3 on new MacPro.

Please provide any additional information below.

Note that I think that the tarball changed suddenly and without
incrementing the version number, which led to macports bug #16691:
https://trac.macports.org/ticket/16691 .  I am moderately worried that this
could be an attack on PostGIS's site and that the new tarball, since it
doesn't match the sha of the old tarball, could in fact have malicious  
content.

Note also that there is a workaround for this issue.  make clean all
instead of make will suffice.
