For the gnulib work in progress, no.  I have been trying to get the 
changes into the upstream repository.

Unless someone is trying to exactly duplicate what I am doing on GNULIB, 
I am not planning on uploading the scripts for a work in progress.

For other stuff see:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnv/

https://sourceforge.net/p/vms-ports/wiki/Home/

https://sourceforge.net/projects/vmsperlkit/files/

Use the MMK from github, all other links are obsolete versions.

The updated GNV components kits + HP Compilers and Github MMK, 
VMSPERLKIT are sufficient to build many OpenSource projects now.

The older (full) GNV kit is no longer required, but has more utilities.

Before trying to duplicate the GNULIB work, I would recommend doing 
local builds of the updated GNV components so that you can verify that 
you understand the build automation.

The updated kits are using patch scripts and helper files to modify the 
mainstream code, so that in many cases, it is just a matter of pointing 
the src_root logical name at the newer source code and building.
