+1. fresh cvs checkout (Don't start AC afterwards to avoid any changes)
+2. delete config/saved.cfg if existent
+3. make sure config/servers.cfg is empty
+4. delete contents of folder screenshots/
+5. delete contents of folder demos/
+6. delete the whole source/ folder (Does not apply to Linux, as the Linux packages comes with full source)

+8. Remove al unused resources, see unused_resources.txt
+9. Copy shadow files (.dat) from another working AC installation (CVS) into the freshly exported directory
