ATM I have hard time to even gauge how difficult the homebrew way would be. Would you have time/be willing to document the current build/release procedure in e.g. INSTALL.MacOSX? I had a sense that Koji is willing to interface between us and homebrew framework. If your workflow is documented the homebrew formula might become straightforward (or not;).
