This looks pretty cool. When you are doing this you probably should try
to speed up the build process with ccache and a huge cache setting :)

Would a simple life calculation of the estimated target size with some
client-side JavaScript be possible? That would make the web form even
more awesome :)

How are you dealing with security issues in this? You would have to
lock down a build with customized files pretty tight...

Apart from this: Great to see some life back in this project. Is there
a plan to use Arch or are we stuck with CVS again? I really would like
to see a version control system where it is easy to track the official
sources while maintaining some personal patches. The most promising in
this area are probably darcs, git, Mercurial and bzr (aka. bazaar-ng).

I still have some patches for some multimedia-related software here, but
I think I have to review them before submitting them, because the
suffer from serious bitrot ;)

Greetings Tobi
