Scott, thanks for your contributions. Your work is greatly appreciated! Did you consider putting the build scripts into a github repository? Hopefully, others could contribute to them or re-use them with more ease.
On another matter, I'm reluctant to use contributed templates I don't know the source of, at least not in production. Ideally, each contributed template really should have a link to a post or a wiki page, describing it in more detail.
