Distribution archive looks sloppy

From https://code.google.com/archive/p/warrick/issues/30

What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Download warrickv2-2-5.tar.gz from project's "Downloads" 2. Look inside it with mc for example (with Midnight Commander)

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

README file says version is 2.0 Expected: 2.5

Almost all files are executable. Even .o text files. Expected: executable must be only files which you have to run.

.o extension is confusing for text files (it usually have compiled object files) with 2 URL inside it. Expected: another extension and may be put these 20 files into a subdir.

I do not expect to see 'curl.exe' here. Expected: either Windows support is officially claimed on the project page or remove the file.

piklog.log is 1 Mb size. Is it really need into distribution archive? Expected: if the file is a part of test suite it might be placed into TEST_FILES subdir.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? warrick-2.5 Ubuntu 13.04 x32

Please provide any additional information below.

The usual thing which developers do is just using 'dist' makefile target or 'makedist.sh' script. It does some clean-up ('make clean' or 'rm' command for specified filelist) and put only really needed files into distribution archive.
