I think such a thing would be good for 2 things:
1- maintain a CVS tag pointing at the last-known-good (well, known
   good for your particular test enviornment, of course).
   So people like Alan can simply follow this tag.
2- auto-detect cases where bootstrap is necessary.  Once detected, the
   script could adding a special thingy somewhere (e.g. a file
   emacs/admin/need-bootstrap) so that "make"
   automatically does "make bootstrap" for you when facing this problem.
