here's my proposal for a major moonbase cleanup/simplification:

20040708 -  push lunar+theedge to incorporate all changes
20040708 -  publicise that people need to update their 'lunar|theedge' 
within deadline to prevent breakage
20040801 -  clean up code in moonbase:


1) remove unneeded $BUILD_DIRECTORY:

$BUILD_DIRECTORY by default equals $SOURCE_DIRECTORY/$MODULE-$VERSION

2) remove $SOURCEX from $SOURCEX_URL= statements, as the proper source 
name is attached by the download code

3) remove patch_it $SOURCE_DIRECTORY/$SOURCE XX and replace with 
patch_it $SOURCE XX. patch_it now searches in the source cache just like 
unpack().

in most cases this will cut off 20-60 bytes per module x 1500... that's 
80k less ascii ;^)
