Chris Nauroth commented on HADOOP-9008:
---------------------------------------

It looks like this is going to have to be Python.  Trying to do this purely with Maven plugins, I see that it drops the symlinks that were created as part of the Linux native builds.  It's also cumbersome to set file permissions correctly with the Maven plugin.

> Trying to build Hadoop trunk tarball via {{mvn package -Pdist -DskipTests -Dtar}} fails on Windows.
> Build system generates sh scripts that execute build tasks what does not work on Windows without Cygwin. It might make sense to apply the same pattern as in HADOOP-8924, and use python instead of sh.
