This was in PM3, but has never been integrated into CM3. If you'd
like to work on it, it will be great. We could even come to the point
were we build distributions for most targets on one platforms (possibly
with the exception of crossing 32->64 bit boundaries).

When extending the existing scripts, please make sure that the existing
interfaces and functions keep working.
