Update gen_release to use git archive instead of svn export.
Use working copy as repo url when testing release tarball.
Support building branches with gen_release.
Snapshot of Makefile
This is my new one-file attempt to optionally build re2.

But for some reason CHPL_TARGET_ARCH isn't as expected between
environments.
Merge pull request #409 from thomasvandoren/migrate-gen-release-to-git

Migrate gen_release to git.

Use git archive instead of svn export in gen_release. Updates the automated test script that calls
gen_release to call git archive on the working copy of the repo instead of going to github (providing a
bit of a perf advantage).
Fix get_release when called with non-default version.

This call was broken before this: `gen_release test`

Merge branch 'master' of https://github.com/chapel-lang/chapel into re2ByDefault
Duplicated the rules that attempt to build re2 for gmp as well
Update test-release.bash to use public repo, instead of working copy.

The test systems clones the repo in a way that doesn't work so well with this
test. Remove the CHPL_HOME_REPOSITORY var, so gen_release will simply clone
from the github repo.

Removing 64-bit workaround text from chpldirent.h

When first implementing chpldirent.h as a helper header
in the test/studies/filerator/ directory, I had to put
in a bunch of #ifdef logic to mimic what was happening
on Crays in order to get it working with all PrgEnv's.
It seems to be that this was related to the #define of
_FILE_OFFSET_BITS in sys_basic.h, and that now that
that's commented out, this logic is no longer needed,
so I'm removing it.

I tested this by testing the filerator module on Cray HW
with the four Cray PrgEnvs.  The only failures were the
globberator.chpl runs, which seem to fail even without
the change.
Added a comment describing why Makefile (no longer) includes Makefile.base
