I'm planning on doing this. Maybe this, or next weekend if I got some
free time. My idea is that we factor the build system out of the core.
Then, we can use it to drive both the core build, and all of the third
party/non-required libraries.

Nope, not yet. I don't think it'd be too terribly difficult though.

I was thinking about this as well. I haven't spent too much time on it,
but I think we could probably make the config another phase to the maker
script. This would allow the build system to know if it ought to
re-configure, if, say, a cpkg changes. Also, it'd allow us to skip
configure stages, so that we'd only have to reconfigure only whatever
changed. Not positive that will work out though.
