Building a release

[Boudewijn Rempt]

To follow up...

Then the locale folder isn't copied in the x86 windows build process,
so that script needs fixing (or I need to find a way to setup a mingw 32
bits build vm -- note to self: all those issues we found when setting up
dmitry's build system still need fixing). And the linux locale location
need changing as well.
