Gradle distribution plugin can be handy from time to time. This PR would add a SourceGroup in the project node for existing dist directories.
Unfortunately Gradle distributions are represented in Gradle as CopySpec-s which are enough to copy required files, but its API is developed for flexible composition, so it does not offer proper introspection. This plugin just assume that the default folder for distribution related sources is
<project root>/src/<distribution name>/dist
