covers how to use the build.sh script to build everything from CVS, how to do 
the same from the released tarballs, and has a link to the documentation on 
using jhbuild as in Gnome.

Those scripts are intended to stay working (in particular I believe they're 
used to drive the Xorg modular tinderbox) so if you experience issues with 
them please do bring it up.
