I just noted my original posts about that at:
http://blogs.oracle.com/GullFOSS/entry/gbuild_meet_the_new_boss
http://blogs.oracle.com/GullFOSS/entry/gbuild_eyecandy_for_developers
http://blogs.oracle.com/GullFOSS/entry/gbuild_how_to_migrate_a
http://blogs.oracle.com/GullFOSS/entry/gbuild_how_to_setup_a
http://blogs.oracle.com/GullFOSS/entry/build_scalability1
http://blogs.oracle.com/GullFOSS/entry/building_openoffice_org_with_gnu

are all gone. If somebody find an archived version of that and puts it
on the wiki, that would be great. At least the "how to migrate a
module" post is still there at:

http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Build_Environment_Effort/Module_Migration
with some additional info at:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Build_Environment_Effort/Gbuild_Bootstrapping
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Build_Environment_Effort/Zen_of_gbuild
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Build_Environment_Effort

If somebody collects all the relevant available info about gbuild and
puts it on the TDF wiki, that would be great -- I would help out with
that.

Best,

Bjoern
