Totally agree. I personally would be highly interested  in build recipe and instructions to build my own. Each time with new release I am struggling with new issues/error upon compilation and any information on this matter is greatly appreciated, so if you are willing to share your approach that helps a lot. The instructions I have for my own build is rather lengthy (statically linked SSL and gzip libs).
