A couple of issues/questions:

* Mac OS X uses "dylib" as the extension for dynamic libraries

* On Mac OS X Xcode is required. It's possible to just download the 
command line tools but I don't think that has been verified to work

* " --combine-zip (Posix-only) Combine all platform-specific archives in
current directory into cross-platform zip archive.
Cannot be used on Windows because the symlinks would be
destroyed. Implies --skip-package."

Can't zip for Windows handle symlinks? Windows Vista (I think) and later 
supports symlinks.

* The extra files should be put under version control

* Does this builds a release for FreeBSD 64bit? If not, it should
