Sounds like NO, there has been progress in documentation since 2.5 days, but 
sounds like it all has to be created by hand in terms of scripts, spec files, 
etc. Thanks, but if it hasn't gotten less time consuming in 12-15 years, let it 
be someone else's time.

Thanks much for the pointer to better documentation, that has improved.
