At one point some of the info there can go away. It has e.g. lists of
packages to install. When packagekit is on enough distros, we can change
jhbuild to require packagekit (this is best IMO) and put per distro the
required packages in the XML file. Let bootstrap automatically check and
ask/install all missing stuff.
Above idea is not new btw.
