The same as for tgz/zip, except there is no need 
for MANIFEST nor 'install.rb'
If its a small package, then at least 23662 bytes is spared.

I have made a multi-release-system, which can build different
configurations of releases.
output formats: gem, tgz, zip.

With the tgz and zip however both MANIFEST and 'install.rb'
is needed.

See the 'release_package.rb' file...
