I saw them but did not know what exactly are they used for. I introduced them 
to the wiki page:

Also added this to wiki. Do we need to advocate Tim to get those files back?

I have a question that you may have a pointer to: Do you know what Yoshiki is 
refering to when he said, regarding making the MSI installer (it is in the

Execute exportAssetsFromToGo.sh  - where can I find this script?

Thanks,

Milan
