I think that you should be a little more explicit about the build
instructions to maintain integrity between all of the releases.
My additional suggestions would be to include step by step
instructions for a _clean_ build:
1) Check out and build the source to a new clean location
ie in unix style:
% mkdir abirelease
% cd abirelease
# Assuming you have your CVSROOT or -d options set properly
% cvs co -r release-version-0-7-12 <your components>
NOTE: Only abi and wv seem to have the branch tag
release-version-0-7-12. We are missing tags on the
the following dirs:
expat, libiconv, abidistfiles, zlib, libpng
% cd abi
% make distribution ABI_BUILD_VERSION=0.7.12 <your format>
2) Then take the md5 sum (post the source to an md5 check sum
source code in C that can be compiled if your system doesn't
have one ... or put source in cvs tree to check out).

Please tag the above directories so that I can make a release
for the QNX platform which is baselined off the same components
as everyone else.
Thanks,
