Adding 3 folders to a package?

Hi people,

I'm trying to make PackageMaker add 3 folders to a package. Not one "root" folder, but 3 folders, each within the root.

This is because I want to develop from and create installers from the same directory. This helps speed up my development process, and reduce mistakes.

If I need to manually copy files around everytime I make a release, this introduces human error and also takes more time and energy. This means I'll be more reluctant to release so regularly.

So is there anyway I can add just 3 folders? Like this:

Parent
   happy.app
   sourcecode.rbp
   folder1ThatIWantIgnored
   folder2ThatIWantIgnored
   folder3ThatIWantIgnored
   DataBanksThatINeedForInstall
   ToolsThatINeedForInstall
   AFile.txt
   ManyMoreFiles.whatever



Out of all of those, I just want "happy.app", "DataBanks", and "Tools" in my package.

How can I make packagemaker do this?

I tried making a "Release" folder, and putting 3 aliases into there, but that didn't work. Funnily enough PackageMaker put the aliases themselves and not the things pointed to by the alias into the package! I tried symlinks, same problem :(

Any idea anyone?
