Add python script for building tarballs

System Internals / FreeType - David Turner [gmail.com] - 21 September 2020 07:27 UTC

- scripts/make_distribution_archives.py: New file.

This standalone Python script should be equivalent to running `make dist` with the Make-based build system, with the following minor differences:

- Since `make distclean` doesn't always clean up `objs/` properly, `make dist` archives may contain some stale binaries like `objs/.libs/libfreetype.so.6` or others.

- `config.guess` and `config.sub` are not updated unless option `--gnu-config-dir=DIR` is used to specify the location of these files.

- Some bits of the auto-generated reference documentation may appear in slightly different order, probably due to issues related to mkdocs and docwriter.

As an example, the call

scripts/make_distribution_archives.py /tmp/freetype2-dist

creates the following files under `/tmp/freetype2-dist`:

freetype-.tar.gz freetype-.tar.xz ft.zip
