Comment (by vbraun):

 Call me an optimist, but I'm still hoping that upstream will clean up
 their build system and dist tarball. The layout of their dist tarball and
 the required packages are also in a flux, so I don't see the value of a
 shell script. Having said that, the instructions are written in a manner
 that you just have to cd into the gap* source directory and execute them.
 E.g. there are directories `gap4r5/small`, `gap4r5/prim`, and
 `gap4r5/trans`. Then by "`rm -rf small prim trans`" I mean to check that
 the directory layout hasn't changed and then delete these directories.
