I've written the first version of the script. It can be found as
scripts/pkgdsms.sh in zippo CVS. I can post the script here, if people are
interested, but I thought it'd be off-topic for djgpp-workers.

The script creates a package containing DSMs from all the DJGPP packages.
It always creates a new package. I have not added code to see if any DSMs
have been changed, added or deleted yet (that's for version 2). You point
it at the base of the DJGPP archive (the directory containing v2/, etc.)
and it generates a package that you can manage with zippo. It creates the
package and a log file in the working directory.

DJ, if you need to modify the script in CVS to make it run better as a
cron job, please do. Could you send some notification to zippo-workers, if
you do modify it?

Thanks, bye, Rich =]
