Quite interesting indeed... too bad those "release-tools/" seem not provided
with the downloadable source archives, I guess they're available only from Git.
Also it seems they would need to be tweaked a bit, e.g. to give the needed options
to "configure".

I'll have a look at this, however, as someone already said, it would be very
nice if a kind of "packager" was provided with the source archives. Maybe
make the "installer framework" (cited by Maurice) publicly available and
usable?

Thanks for the information.
