An option could be that of adding a "wizard" to the script, a bit like the 
install wizard you can sometimes find for os'es or some custom drivers. It 
could allow the user to choose wheter to build the stable version, use the one 
found on the system or build the current trunk for the various packages. I am 
assuming that the script will be mainly used by people with little interest in 
the code itself, but just want a cutting edge build because they want to test 
features or develope planes and scenery for it.
