Alexis,

This is what I use in our Makefile (abreviated version attached):

%.tar.gz:   all %.boot
   erl -noshell -s systools make_script $* -s erlang halt
   erl -noshell -s systools make_tar $* -s erlang halt

I'm not sure but I know that it isn't working for me because I'm not
getting all my applications files into the tarball.  It puts all the
*.beam files in but not the priv/bin & priv/data files. I haven't
gotten around to figuring out how to do that yet.
