No worries for the severity, I don't wish to spend time discussing that
and any severity is fine as long as someone (maybe me) does the work.

Could you list these, and I do the work?

Please help me to help! :)

Well, CDBS has been in my list of things to learn for a long time, so I
don't mind having a try. I do like the fact it's Make based, rather than
Perl (which I have a hard time reading).

BTW, do you think I should switch my other JavaScript packages to CDBS?
I've been using dh so far...
