[Gambas-user] Why Gambas is packaged in only one tarball without a configure script?

Hi. In the page http://gambaswiki.org/wiki/howto/package , you give some 
indications to the packagers. You want one package per component.

That's okay but I don't understand why are you bundling every component 
in one "big" tarball without a configure script. You could create 
individual tarballs with the configure script generated. That would make 
quite easy to comply with your wishes.

Some packaging tools make pretty hard to split big tarballs in small 
packages. Specially during the update to a new version.

Am I missing something? :)
