OK, but is this not another overhead on you and mako. When I did the scripts I 
was trying to avoid the extra overhead, save you time :-)

Now's about this:
1. You create script to run 'make all' and do 'tar'.
2. Script copies to your slow site
3. Mako script does daily check. If newer, copy to mako site
4. Mako script extracts archive.
5. enjoy, and forget :-)
