Re: generic-build-script extension to update version numbers in README

I'd like to make a request: gbs is getting out of control with this
feature and that feature added. Some of these tasks are NEVER going to
be performed by anyone other than the primary maintainer: has anyone
actually used 'foo.sh list' or 'foo.sh depends'?
I use these two functions often, to create the README ;)
However, I agree with your opinion, I use several years old scripts for
some of my packages, IIRC these are hacked versions of Charles' original
build script. It still works and I don't see the point to upgrade.
However, every maintainer is free to add as many features as needed to
get her packages out of the door.
