This would be a first step. Anyone volunteering for something like
that? While I could possibly write something up, I'm not sure I'd
catch all the little pitfalls that somebody not as familiar with the
whole thing would stumble into.

That's true too. After all, we're going to leave binary releases to
the various distributions, so the source should come with a fairly
well tested, standard build system, such as configure/make or (to a
lesser degree) cmake.
Nonetheless I'd be the least to vote against something that would make
life for developers easier. Documentation is a first step and I would
invite anyone to improve what is currently there
(http://adonthell.berlios.de/doc/index.php/Development:Getting_Started)
or at least leave comments on the talk pages.
A second step could be said script to prepare the environment so stuff
can be started right out of the source/build tree.
Any further suggestions are welcome too, although I'd say the two
steps above should address most of the issues.
