284,Option to archive patched source folder,mmadia,brecht,"To assist in complying with GPL and possibly other licenses, it would be beneficial for HaikuPorter to have the ability to archive the patched sources without compiled objects. As noted in the [http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/gpl-faq.html#DistributingSourceIsInconvenient GPL faq], we need to ""provide complete sources, not just diffs, with the binaries.""

This can then be hosted alongside the binary and be used as part of the OptionalPackage's .OptionalPackageDescription ""SourceURL:"" field.

A space efficient compression algorithm, such as LZMA (7z) or LZMA2 (xz) would be ideal, as the sources would need to be kept around for a number of years.
