Explains how to generate a source tarball from the MariaDB build environment using `automake` and `make dist`.

How to create a source tar.gz file.

First Setup your build environment.

Then use automake/configure/make to generate the tar file:

BUILD/autorun.sh
./configure --with-plugin-xtradb
make dist

This creates a source file with a name like mysql-5.3.2-MariaDB-beta.tar.gz
