I am already working on this build system. SPS allows you already to
compile various software systems with extremely different internal build
systems, so it seems to be suited for this task.
I currently use it to create star packages for SchilliX and as the list
format for creating these packages does not differ much from the SVr4
package format, it would be simple to modify it to create SVr4 packages too.
