I'm actually doing this with VanillaMiNT (in the "soon" to be released 
version). But the implementation is very crude, I have just created a 
script that builds each individual component (since the makefile does 
not allow me to compile modules and tools for a specific CPU), and then 
another script that builds a complete distribution. This distribution is 
then either zipped or copied to an empty image file, depending on 
target.

Since we're already past the point were it was possible to compile 
FreeMiNT on an actual Atari we could just as well migrate to git. And 
someone (that's not me!) could create a Linux VM with all dev-tools set 
up and correctly configured :)
