'sources' does have an 's' more then 'source'. As you can see is
'sources' a symlink.

The same as with all releases, everything needed to build the/all
releases.

Bullshit, but for some reason we've shipped it again (probably because
the build-script generates this file, and why not ship it if it is
generated?). If you want to, you can use it to upgrade the source-zip to
a svn-checkout, so you can 'svn-update' it, without having to do a full
checkout.
