I'm finished with the scripts (other than some cosmetics). I think they should 
work now.

As Derek says, svn update the packaging directory, and try again.
As an added bonus, you can now simply run
reset.sh
install.sh

There's no need to remove the g++ anymore.

But I just read the Christian now has broken the build by adding some python 
dependent code, while there is no python available in the Windows build 
environment. So you may want to wait until he fixes this.
