We use repo (from android) to put stuff together. The "manifest" repo will pull down the whole world and give you a single unified build system:
https://github.com/membase/manifest
That also gets you pretty well set up to use our code review system for code submission should you want to contribute: http://review.couchbase.org/
Packaging isn't quite as awesome as I'd like, but all the parts are definitely there.
