Submit script used to post-process dist files.

post_process_dist.sh

+#! /bin/sh
+
+# This script takes the result of "make dist" and:
+# 1) Unpacks it.
+# 2) Ensures all contents are user-writable.  Some version control systems
+#    keep code read-only until you explicitly ask to edit it, and the normal
+#    "make dist" process does not correct for this, so the result is that
+#    the entire dist is still marked read-only when unpacked, which is
+#    annoying.  So, we fix it.
+# 3) Convert MSVC project files to MSVC 2005, so that anyone who has version
+#    2005 *or* 2008 can open them.  (In version control, we keep things in
+#    MSVC 2008 format since that's what we use in development.)
+# 4) Uses the result to create .tar.gz, .tar.bz2, and .zip versions and
+#    deposites them in the "dist" directory.  In the .zip version, all
+#    non-testdata .txt files are converted to Windows-style line endings.
+# 5) Cleans up after itself.
