* make-dist: It's oldXMenu/compile.com, not oldXMenu/compile.mms.

Don't try to make links to the RCS or Old subdirectories.
	Use the appropriate extension for the compression type in use.
	Create the tar file in the shell's initial default directory, not
	in ${tempparent}.
	Erase the whole ${tempparent} tree, not just ${tempdir}.
