Robert Knight 48084cfdb2 Special handling for the updater binary in the package creation script. 
The updater binary is listed as a package on its own but is not
compressed.  The program downloading the update can then download
all packages for the new version including the updater executable
'package' (in reality, just the plain file) and then invoke that updater.

This also allows for substitution of the updater binary with a different
version via the -u parameter.

README 

This directory contains a set of tools for preparing auto-updates.

 * create-packages.rb

	Given a directory containing the set of files that make up a release,
	laid out as they are when installed and a JSON package config file,
	this tool generates a set of packages for the release
	and a file_list.xml listing all the files that make up the release.

 * config-template.json

    This is a template for the config file that specifies:

	- How to partition the files that make up an installed application
	  into packages.
	- The path of the main binary to run after the update completes
	- The name of the updater binary to download as part of the update

    This is the simplest possible package configuration, where all files for
	a release are placed in a single package.  This means that the whole
	package will need to be downloaded to install the update.
