I think that $$? is to do with tar behaviour when it is overwriting an
existing tarball.

I've also change the tools file to check for git instead of cvs and
install git-core if missing, and that revealed a bashism which now
means it's all bust where your shell is now dash. SO I've fixed all
that too.

Yep. I tried to do it a while back as the comments showed but it
didn't work the way I tried.
