Sure; but I somehow lack motivation to add build-system-of-the-day
support into JHBuild; bootstrapping support is quite easy, the support
is in maintaining and evolving all of them (for example there are a few
things I'd like to add into JHBuild which are stalled because I wouldd
need to code them for seven revision control systems).

Incidentally when Shaun asked about adding proposed modules into
JHBuild modulesets I added everything but cheese.
