I just haven't gotten around to producing tarballs this way to post to
have people test them for problems. If someone else doesn't get around
to it, I'll do this tomorrow. Once we've done that and caught most of
the major platforms I'll be happy to see that r9079 gets merged. Here's
my list of platforms I want to see tested:

Linux
(Free|Open)BSD
OS X
Solaris
HP/UX
AIX
Windows (WinZip - though I believe it still won't work, it'd be nice to
         know)
