jhbuild just builds bleeding edge versions of Sugar and its
dependencies from the git repositories.  To create builds for the
laptop you need a tool such as:
puritan (fedora, m_stone's newish python build tool):
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Puritan
pilgrim (fedora, what most olpc builds are created using):
http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Pilgrim
xodist (debian, used to make debxo): http://wiki.laptop.org/go/DebXO#Hacking
rpmxo (similar to xodist for rpms):
