creating tar.gz assembly

project instance after interpolation
     * [MASSEMBLY-414] - Allow regular expressions in include/exclude
patterns for filesets
     * [MASSEMBLY-416] - outputDirectory default value in fileSet seems
changed; now seems to use directory name of fileSet sourcedir
     * [MASSEMBLY-417] - regex in/exclusion patterns can fail on Windows
due to file-separator replacement.
     * [MASSEMBLY-418] - Broken link to assembly-1.1.0-SNAPSHOT.xsd
     * [MASSEMBLY-419] - All module directories are included  with
complete system path
