My build scripts are such an "evolved" mish-mash of Python3, Python2, Java, makefiles, and shell scripts that I'm amazed they work for me, much less for anyone else. (This point was brought home to me when I moved to a new laptop and spent too long trying to remember and install all the dependencies.)

Anyway, nice job, and hooray for unintended uses of open source code.

You are right. It takes a certain structure, quite a bit of adjusting etc.

But the result is what it makes all worthwhile.

BTW, I was doing all the optimization you were doing on some of my sites, but I always missed some nice ways to automate. Imagine the happiness when I stumbled on your hg.diveinto* repositories. A candy shop.

So, thank you.
