Bo:

The stage 4 stuff is quite easy and I do that routinely.  If you want
links or suggestions on how to do it I'll be glad to try to help -- its
sped up my life considerably. It was the separate build host etc stuff
that I was looking for.  That section out of the handbook looks good
--I'll start playing with it in a dev environment hopefully this weekend
-- thanks for the pointer
