If changing defaults.sh in the 2.4.10 directory would increment the revision 
number on the directory itself, that would trigger a new build.

Tagging with 2.4.10-1 creates a new tag, which should also trigger a build. I 
think this approach would be cleaner than to modify an officially released 
tag.
