I suppose it all depends on how bad do we want this.  I could imagine an 
automated procedure that gets the contents of the original GNU package 
from DJTAR listing, edits it (with Sed or Gawk), then adds any files that 
aren't already in the listing (using find) and then calls Zip with the 
resulting list in a response file.  But since it's all on your server, 
you get to decide...
