I've never made it 100% clear that it can be used to build packages
from any other build scripts (although if one were to look at
Slackware's .build scripts it would become quickly apparent that
this was possible; but then if you never looked because the description
never advertised it..). Now I know why I don't work in marketing ;-)

Perhaps I will change the slack-desc and other descriptions for the
next release.
