What's the recommended way to get this all running?  The scripts can't
be in the same directory as the source because of the rsync --delete.
You could put them somewhere else, but then I think they need to be on
the path, and I had problems with output files not being found.  I ended
up copying the scripts to the source dir after the rsync, but I'm sure
that's not what others do.

Is there a README somewhere, or a recommended directory structure and
way of doing things?  I know other clueful porters have been put off
because it doesn't "just work".  I've got an alpha sitting here waiting
- have I just missed something?
