Add ability to create rpm and tar ball from git clone

Frank you beat me to it but in any case you may find some of this useful though I took a lot of short-cuts to get an rpm that looked like 1.7.7. I did not try to install the resulting rpm on my CentOS system.

I will rebase and try out your changes later this week.

Work in progress
* Create rpm
* Create src rpm
* Create tar ball
* Create rpm from tarball - future

On the development branch VERSION contains the next version.
