Not necessarily. But, you realize Max that neither generic-build-script
nor mknetrel are available as "packages" either? So IMO it doesn't
really matter that cygbuild isn't an official package, as long as it is
available somewhere...

True, enhancements always welcome. There's one thing I don't want to
do, though: I don't want to turn gbs into an assembly of fragments (e.g.
provide a customized "build()" function but use the default for
everything else, and automatically "assemble" those fragments into a
distributable build script.)
If that's the kind of thing you're looking for, then mknetrel is more
suited.
