Hi!

I suppose TB contains a script that does all that, right?  Would it work
to simply run it?  If it invokes wget/curl, then this needs to be
replaced, but the rest should be fine.

It=E2=80=99s unfortunate that there=E2=80=99s no ready-to-build TB tarball,=
 that would
simplify things for us.

Thanks,
