That is against the general spirit of g-b-s AIUI. The function may
well be moved into a `modules'-file when that materializes, though,
IMHO.

Error-checking may be improved... a test-run, calling ``version'',
perhaps? (SHTDI)

Worst case: One has to do it the old-fashioned way. (Like it is now.)

:  - It should be possible to update scripts from local directory (like 
:  setup.exe provides)

Touch (an existing) /usr/share/gbs/generic-build-script-HEAD for that,
and hope your current version is already there.

:  So the cvs update and merge part should be separate functions.

If you think so. SHTDI

:  BTW: why not put g-b-s and such additional support scripts in a package?
