steal makefile entries from pkgex  https://github.com/voluntas/pkgex/blob/develop/Makefile

Change the release target,

make it use $(REBAR) (REBAR=`which rebar`), i'm not putting a binary file in my repo, to that way lies madness.

rel: deps compile
        @$(REBAR) compile
        relx <-- this line was previously rebar generate.


$ git tag v0.0.3.

$ commit -a
commit modified makefile, commit all modifications to git.

$ make package

And the tar.gz file (i expected a pkg or something for osx).

$ cd adjutant_core-0.0.3.12.g9b58e4d
$ ls

^ this is not the release, it sthe stuff inside _rel/myproject that i kinda expected to be there.

Maybe i need to hack the files to grab _rel/myproject/ for the tar.gz file

My goal is to eventually use cuttlefish ( https://github.com/basho/cuttlefish ), however i -still- feel like there is a step missing that my .config files are not being generated from the schema file.. not sure why.
