wouldn't tarball snapshots be nice to have?

Didn't we used to create nightly development tarballs when we were using CVS 
anyways?  Of course, a tarball of an svn export'ed module would be different 
from a tarball of an svn co'ed module.

I'll see if I can't make a tarball of an svn checkout for at least arts, 
kdelibs, qt-copy, and kdebase.  I'm kinda busy though. :(

Yes.  In fact, that's what we pretty much *had* to do right after the 
changeover.
