[dash-dev] Use extraPackaging.properties to make zipping features simple

[Nick Boldt <nickboldt@xxxxxxxxx>]

Very cool, I'll have to look at this tomorrow. Can you attach it to a 
bug so we have proper IP for your contribution?

As to disabling the default sdk/runtime/examples, remove the "buildZips" 
task from the build.steps property in build.properties.

The tests zip is created from the buildTests task. If you have a better 
way to package that, we can look at replacing the default packaging w/ 
you new solution. However, we'd also have to change how the tests task 
runs if its input changes.
