A release contains basically a snapshot of all source code that goes
into it, including tools. The 'sources' directory will contain all of
those snapshots, each one a tarball of the respective source (e.g.,
automake-x.y.z, rtems-x.y, etc.).

Look at the 4.11.3 release for an example of how it was being done:
https://ftp.rtems.org/pub/rtems/releases/4.11/4.11.3/

See that there is a sources directory, but that we also put "our"
source in the top-level. Chris' plan is to also put the rtems-*.tar.xz
underneath sources/

(I discussed with him briefly before, and am in favor of this
approach, but held my vote :))
