Good idea. I've been pondering how to do this a while back, but never got
around to actually do it.

One comment: Why not keep the default version in guilt? You're running sed
on it anyway.  This makes releasing identical to what it was before the
patch:
	<edit guilt to reflect new version, commit>
	git tag -u abcdef v0.xy
	git archive --tar v0.xy | gzip -9 > guilt-0.xy.tar.gz

Additionally, things won't "break" for folks running right out of the git
repo - I just add the git repo dir to my $PATH.
