On a (perhaps unintentional) challenge by particle, I created the attached Parrot/Rakudo rebase/rebuild helper tool. It basically assists with 'fire and forget' when you expect things to take a while. It also handles some obvious cases that you shouldn't have to think about, like changing to the parrot root before building, running Configure.pl after a realclean, updating with the proper source control tool for your checkout, and so on.
The question is ... where should this go? Some subdirectory of tools/ I assume, but it's not clear to me which is the correct choice. Of course, feedback on the tool itself much appreciated! -'f
