Nope. It's just something homebrewed. It's not quite generic enough
yet to release. I have been trying to accomodate any gotchas like
"delete the dir" file in this script so that I don't have to remember to
do this. Until recently, it didn't actually create info files since it
didn't do a "make install-info".
It's a good idea to make this available under CVS. I just have to weigh
the emotional hit of seeing the inevitable "I don't see why mknetrel
doesn't..." or "I'm trying to use mknetrel to download my files and it
doesn't work..." reports.
It's been painfully obvious lately that every bit of software that gets
released generates a backwash of some sort and there are only so many
hours in the day for dealing with this kind of stuff.
