Yeah, from a code bit rot issue and improving the code (robustness and
portability), I couldn't agree more about auto building platforms
(some of the scripts I run now do this for unix targets).

However, my "broken record" and "getting tired" concerns/tirad are
more along the lines of having to support all the hoards of w32 users
who will just end up figuring out that gschem is not a w32 program.
