Find a way to build .alfredextension and .alfredworkflow from the command line

[dbader]

Building the .alfredextension and .alfredworkflow files by exporting from Alfred is very clumsy.

There should be a way to create these files via some command line magic. Then we could simply do make packages to build a new release.

They both seem to be Zip archives:

$ file Timer.alfred*
Timer.alfredextension: Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract
Timer.alfredworkflow:  Zip archive data, at least v2.0 to extract

Extracting with unzip -d extracted Timer.alfredworkflow also works (with both files).
