R. David Murray added the comment:

The fact that it cost you a lot of time buttresses my point.  Any documentation 
we write is likely to get stale; it is only the downstream that knows when 
these things change and could maintain such a document.  And the easy answer is 
as Andrew indicated, which is maintained by downstream.  That said, if the 
various downstreams are using a unified set of names, then the equation would 
change.  The fact that you had separate sections for separate distributions 
argues that that is not (yet?) the case, though.

The build instructions in the devguide are more likely to be kept up to date, 
which is why I suggested we should cross link to them from the main build 
documentation.
