Yes, I guess our priorities don't match. I've been in "make world"
mode since the b20 days; I needed to build some core development

And, I didn't want to do too much manual work for each update of a
package, maintained or unmaintained.

Yes, I guess you're right. Indeed, that's why I have the
lots-of-scripts package: to make each peg round by hand. Then hope it
will fit with the next release of a package too.
