These scripts is mostly for squid-cache.org use. Using them outside
squid-cache.org will require a bit of tweaking..

What the mksnapshot.sh modify configure[.in] to add the current date to
the version tag, and then runs "make dist" to build the tarball. It also
automates collection of the release notes, changelog, configuration
reference manual etc to be published as separate files.

To build a tarball in your current build directory (where you run
configure) you just need to run "make dist". No need to use any scripts.
But you might want to add a unique identifier to the version in
configure.in and bootstrap before.
