    Sorry I must have miscommunicated. I thought you were finished  
when you added the basic code that could compile some .c code (that's  
what I wanted from you, since that required knowledge of the  
particular configure objects and variables to get out the compiler,  
the compiler flags etc.). So I started working on it. I didn't expect  
that you would keep on working on it.

    If they are like totally different, maybe you should rename yours  
builder2.py (not try to merge) and then we can decide how to proceed.  
(for example, toss mine, toss yours, or I could pick chunks of yours  
that I like).
