The build of these distribution files marks a nice step forward for
release management:

The files are being built with a new script written by Marshall in
python. That allows building release filess on any modern operating
system. The old scripts were Windows specific, and Beman was the only
release manager who knew how to run them

Marshall built the files for this release, and he and Beman will
alternate building releases so that both stay familiar with the
process. This will eliminate a dependency on any one person.

Thanks to Marshall for taking this on!
