My thought is that it's more about the fact that you're building for embedded
and the cross archticture part is tangential, but I also don't want to dump
a ton of work on Tim on top of what he's already done.

I think this is to make it easier for folks who don't normally do this to do this.
Those of us, you included, who can build their own one off scripts can do that
but the project needs a good way to package this stuff and Tim's script
is the best thing to come along in a while.

Best,
