Sure, but that doesn't actually matter for making a GNOME release. We don't
release all the other stuff, just what is in our module lists. Hopefully
you're smoketesting on top of a relatively sane distribution that already
has the other stuff.

GARNOME was always the easiest tool for doing this - you punch in the
metadata (ie. the version numbers), build and ship. I used to build the
versions file from the garballs, too.
