I don't see what's so hard to understand. build.sh _is_ the official
script. It has shortcomings and it could use somebody fixing those
shortcomings. Or, like Daniel and Peter both have said, if you think a
make-based solution would be better, send it in. You keep saying how
much better a make-based build would be and how you would work on it.
No one has told you not to do that.
