Cool, so I tweaked the make_dist.sh script to produce, for development
snapshots (no tag argument, or "trunk"), a file named and exploding into
a dir named after the actual target version and revision number, like:

  postgis-2.2.0dev-r13611.tar.gz

Regina, I guess you need to update the script currently uploading the
differently named version ? Need help with that ?
