#Do a: ''cvs export msn'' to have a clean copy of the CVS (without CVS/ folders or extra files)

#Test everything runs fine
#Tar-gzip the msn/ folder, removing any unnecessary extras. (Shouldn't be any). As some kind of "standard" in the gnu world, if the tar.gz is amsn-0.93.tar.gz, the folder inside must be called amsn-0.93.
