• OOo Build Wizard
  • Repo Access - This clones, pushes etc. source code.
  • Configurer - Configures a local clone.
  • Builder - Builds it.

• • Prerequisite Providers:
    • Mercurial
    • Cygwin
    • All external configurable things, such as
      • libxml
      • gnome
      • ...

And this is what we want to do first:

• schedule of modularization tools developing
• Create a "build helper", responsible for
  • getting the source,
  • getting prerequisites and pre-builds,
  • configuring the sources, taking care of dependencies ...,
  • and (optionally) building it.
• Add missing/useful configuration switches (e.g. for headless support).
• Re-factor according to needs (e.g. writer only etc.).

This "build helper" may be compared to the Linux kernels menuconfig / xconfig, first configure it extensively, ideally in a graphical way, than build it.
