Use your version control system. When this stuff was originally done neither git or hg existed, csv sucked (still does because it can't rename a file etc) and svn was just starting up. That also make the code depended on the tool set which can be a long term maintenance headache when you need to fix something in ten years (it has happened more than once). Yes, archive the tool set or the build machine itself etc etc...
