I did try to fix the script back in the 6.4 days to build seamonkey, but they were so confusing to me at the time that I couldn't, and I was a lot less knowledgeable than currently. I for one would fine this useful, though I think if you all do want to look at some form of package management you should look at the Linux Live project. This is, in my opinion, the cleanest way to do things and could even allow a bit of flexibility if one doesn't want to recompile a certain part of the CD, but others. I would look in to helping get the CD up and running once more, but soon I know I'll be lacking time.
