I know I used to use this file a lot when working on Zaurus kernels.
These days I don't get to play with hardware as much as I'd like so I've
not used it in a while.

It is extremely useful when you need it. I've always argued there are
much more problematic time sinks in the build than this tarball
creation...

Cheers,
