It would make a lot more sense to use a package manager.

You might find that Arch Linux's `pacman' provides everything that you
need; it's really easy to define your own packages and build from
source, allowing pacman to manage dependencies, locate which package
owns which file, and upgrade/remove packages.

I bet gentoo's `emerge' would also be viable.
