I'm applying my own patches directly to PTXdist's svn ;-)

PTXdist does the same for me. Also builds toolchain. Those two projects
does basicaly the same, but PTXdist design seems better for me. And
because it is matter of personal preferences and of topic here, you are
welcome to continue debate or ask questions on PTXdist mailing list.

I did my best to check patches you sent to mailing list, tried to
address suggestions (if any) and sent again to custodians. Lets see what
happens. In case things move on I will continue stealing code from your
ftp, verify on boards I have here and try to push in.

That seems reasonable. But that rule would have to be more complex to
support for example board/atmel/atstk1000/
