Host-specific information is generated by the various setup packages when 
gpt-postinstall is invoked
by the "make install" step.  (The source installer is a wrapper around the GPT 
tools.)

If you generate binary packages, as Joe suggested, it will package the setup 
scripts, but not the host-specific results of the setup scripts.  You will then 
run gpt-postinstall after installing the binary packages on your additional 
servers.

You can force all setup scripts can be re-run by running "gpt-postinstall 
-force"
