You were planning to use this script but not make it the official way of
building DPDK. I think it should be the official way.
I would suggest to integrate it quietly and improve it to make it more
official later.
What do you think is missing in the current design to take it as a base
for later work?
I really would like to see the dependencies (internal and external)
managed in this script.

I think we should make possible to change string values as boolean ones in
a generic way.
Detail: the MAINTAINERS file must be updated for this new file.
