The next release should have a midbuild hook command, which will allow 
you to capture build output, unless I get hung up on stupid stuff. It 
will also lay the framework for scripting support, though it'll be a 
release or two before any of that appears. I can't really give good 
timelines, but somewhere between "weeks" and "months" is probably right.

Sure. Just like making a package a library, except use a module as the 
section header:

[foo/a.d]
type=library
