As Bruce suspects, I do have scripts that do a variety of these things
for releases. They're not nice well written scripts and make
assumptions about state. My local trees are in such a mess due to
ongoing integration issues I don't dare run them atm and if I take the
patches, I then have to resolve the conflicts with the scripts as well.
Most of that is because I have code which I don't know whether we're
going to end up merging or not and it has implications on the helper
branches and autobuilder config.

Basically, the bottom line is there are many different problems, lots
of people want my time and I just can't do everything. This one hasn't
made it to a priority high enough to spend time on fixing :/.

Cheers,
