I finally got a chance to install and play around with the extras-
buildsys-temp code.  There were a couple hiccups, but it didn't take too
long before I could start building packages.  I hope to be able to pitch
in and help out some with the upcoming build system work.

I have a couple questions.  First, are other people running into the
"Bad owner/group" error when running mach with a uid != 500?
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?
thread_id=4173173&forum_id=35925 describes the issue more.  I got around
it by creating a dummy user with uid equal to 500, but I'm wondering if
I should try to get a real fix in upstream. That brings me to my next
question: are there any more thoughts on the separation of integration
of the hacked version of mach with the upstream version?
