  Tarball contents and signatures

  (fsfs, bdb) x (local, svnserve, dav)
  check-all-javahl
  check-swig-py
  check-swig-rb
  check-swig-pl

New issues:

  - Expanded URL keywords in the tarballs point to the release branch;
    they should point to the tag instead.

Known issues:

  - wc-queries-test #3 fails with SQLite 3.8.1, but passes with
    the default system version, 3.7.12.
    -- There is a bug in the test: we should not fail a regression
       test because we do not like how particular version of SQLite
       does queries, as long as the query results are correct.

  - C tests do not work with the --enable-optimize configure option

  - 'make check-javahl' requires 'make install'

  - Swig bindings do not build with the generated wrappers included in
    the tarball. Running autogen.sh regenerates them and the bindings
    then build succesfully.

GPG Signatures committed to the dist/dev/subversion repository.
