Some notes, if you like it:
1. before building everynight .iso, texmf/list/ should be updated
2. I've observed that everynight tlrebuild can break correct/updated
   .tpm files, e.g. I updated mex and also mex.tpm (#6100), but
   after that tlrebuild spoiled mex.tpm (#6105), so some small additions
   dissapeared
3. I touched Master/install-pkg* (col.vlist changed to col) so it works
   for --collection. Would you please change the other thing:
   strip "collection-" from the name so 
      sh install-pkg.sh --collection=tex4ht
   instead '... --collection=collection-tex4ht' could work (as
   in the documentation)
4. I touched texmf/web2c/texmf.cnf (after Olaf's #6101 in the sources) and 
   fmtutil.cnf; also collection-pdftex.tpm and scheme-gust.tpm.
All the above #6106.

OK. but small programs like diff, grep or wget could be handy...
 
As for binaries, may I suggest that for the final turn all platform build
should be made from the updated source (not source.development).
It would be consistent that with what we want to distribute as 
source.tar.bz2. Hope that we are at some final point concerning
the sources, or... are we waiting for pdftex 1.20b? :-)

Thanks,
