Agreed. I use a technique I call "Document Centric Automation". It's
helped me tremendously in keeping build commands free of silly typos and
thinkos.

It involves extracting the build commands directly from the XML sources
then feeding them to a build script. Manuel has recently implemented a
"dump commands" facility for use by all the *LFS projects so now this sort
of automation should be achievable.

I cannot speak highly enough of using DCA style techniques as an extra
tool in the QA toolbox.
