To be honest, I started with the existing script. I would have loved to 
simply download and execute it and everything worked but it did not. It 
required more than an standard install of MAC OS X and the command line 
tools. Since I didn't have the full version of XCode or the particular 
products prompted for, I chose the route that required less preparatory 
work by the potential user. I do understand the necessity to build upon 
what already exists and, trust me, that's what I wanted to do.

Would have been great if you pointed them out but I completely understand.

Will give it a shot. Thanks.
