I can't imagine there's a better approach than a make(1)-based system, like the rest of the build. The power of our make(1) build systems (ports, release, world, and now doc) is one of FreeBSD's great strengths. Actually, while we're at it, can we get a list of the small FreeBSD kits and their URLs? Perhaps we should move the PicoBSD web pages into the FreeBSD web page space, so we can get CVS and stuff going. Any ideas, Andrzej?
