Looks good. The script in the commented-out section for updating the
drone might be useful, too, although at the moment I imagine there are
precious few organizations with multi-box development setups.

I wonder whether a new directory like build/tools/ might make more
sense as a home for a script like this; Open-ILS/src/extras currently
contains scripts that are installed as part of the /openils/bin
directory, report templates, and the whole import subdirectory that
doesn't get installed (but perhaps should). It's a catch-all, as the
name implies, while the build directory would be a fitting home for
build-related scripts.

Thumbs up; I think this is an excellent contribution.
