I  am working on it,  unfortunately it is a slow process...  it takes 13hours to build on 8s.
I have hit a snag at the moment I am trying to resolve.

...
I will file a bug on this but, if the catalog name contains "special characters" pathfilter throws errors
and will not build "ANY" package in the recipe.   gcc4g++ and gcc4g++rt are the 2 in question.

I am trying to resolve in my local copy of mGar v2 and will submit a patch with the bug report,
unless you fix it before I get that far ;)

Thanks,
Mike
