. ...having said that, I must admit that in my "ideal package system", you
could do "commandtobuildapackage Makefile" so you, as maintanier of a
random project, could provide such makefile, ie. "use this Makefile
to install the latest CVS versión". I thing gentoo ebuild can do this, 
but I'm not sure. (it's not my intention to start yeat another "packaging
flamewar" BTW ;)
