[Red5] Dist folder

[Tyler Kocheran]

It needs nothing from the Red5 root directory. The dist directory is just
that, a distribution which you can deploy anywhere and it should work. It's
almost no different than downloading a core release (eg 0.7, 0.8 RC1 etc).
And if you need to work on the source code, don't forget that you can create
as many distributions as you like via the "dist.dir" property in Red5's ant
build script. In the past, Dominick recommended creating different
distributions for different revisions, but there's a ton of possibilities
with it. Have at it!

And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of
sleep;
for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed.
