Updated the package and uploaded to mentors.

The orig.tar.gz file is created manually with this command

  git archive HASH | gzip > xxx.orig.tar.gz

Thank you for this snippet, I found many rules file ships such a part
in its rules file, but it will occupy half of the rules file if I put it in.
I described how to make the orig.tar.gz file in README.Source.

Is this acceptable?


BTW, concerining TensorFlow:

gemmlowp is likely the last dependency package to be uploaded.
TensorFlow upstream has cmake build scripts, but those scripts
will download many other dependency source packages and
compile them instead of using the pre-compiled ones provided
by distribution. There is a feature request about this in the
upstream issue list which is still open.
