Hi, I changed pkgmk from pkgutils (Crux) so that it creates slackware 
packages. It is a simple shell script with a conf file.

Example:
------------
name=foo
version=1.0
release=1

source=(foo-$version.tar.gz) # you can put several files here
conf=(etc/foo.conf)

build() {
   cd foo-$version
   ./configure \
     --prefix=/usr \
     --sysconfdir=/etc \
     --localstatedir=/var
   make
   make DESTDIR=$PKG install #PKG already defined
}
------------

You can choose in the conf file if you want to gzip man pages or strip 
binaries.
I think maintenance is easier.
Are you interested to replace your slackbuilds by that (yes/no)?
