> c_glib/ uses GNU Autotools (autoconf, libtool and so on) build system.
> Normally, source archive that uses GNU Autotools build system includes configure script. Because users don't need GNU Autotools if source archive includes configure script.
> configure script is generated by running autogen.sh (autoreconf) with configure.ac and Makefile.ams.
> The current Apache Arrow release script (dev/02-source.sh) just runs "git archive". The generated archive doesn't include configure script. So users need GNU Autotools.
> I hope that c_glib/ source archive includes configure script. Normally, source archive is generated by "make dist" for package that uses GNU Autotools. The generated source archive includes configure script and all needed files.
> How should I change the current release script? Should I change dev/02-source.sh, create a new file or choose other approach?
