It is crucial for a "healthy" libre/free software project that
building is *easy* and the know-how to do that is known by the most
people possible. This is the *only* way that one can even hope to get
new (code / development) contributors.

Getting people up to "can build" is IMHO by no means meaningless
effort-duplication.

From a "free software politics" point of view, it also tips the
balance of power away from the TDF to the users, which is a *good*
thing. If (nearly) only the TDF knows how to build, then users cannot
effectively exercise (nearly all) the freedoms that free software
grants them.
