* develop
  master
murphy:dvn pdurbin$ git pull
Already up-to-date.
murphy:dvn pdurbin$ git checkout master
Switched to branch 'master'
murphy:dvn pdurbin$ git merge develop
Updating fdbfe57..6ceb24f

Make release available for download

On dvn-build:

cd tools/installer
mkdir dvninstall/config
mkdir dvninstall/appdeploy/dist
make installer

Rename the resulting "dvninstall.zip" to include the release number (i.e. "dvninstall_v3_4.zip") and upload it, the separate war file, a readme, and a buildupdate script (all these files should include the release number) to SourceForge (i.e. http://sourceforge.net/projects/dvn/files/dvn/3.4/ ).

Increment the version number
