Nice work! The great thing about devops stuff is that while it's hard work, 
it only needs doing very rarely.

Now let's see if the latest version works for more people :-)

This was now implemented: https://travis-ci.org/shlomif/App-gimpgitbuild/ -
thanks. It took me half a day, and I ended up skipping the build of gimp
git master itself (due to the fact it required some newer deps). It inspired 
a
feature in gimpgitbuild 0.8.0 .

Thanks!
