This could be a separate patch, maybe?

Good, I like the fact that we're doing only one make invocation.

I'm not sure what is going on here. Why aren't you using the existing
'allpkgs' list? It contains the list of all packages, you would just
have to filter the fake 'all' entry in your "for pkg in pkgs:" loop in
the get_version() function.

Thanks!
