Does the source for all of the above come as a single tarball?

If so, I might do a single SlackBuild, that builds the backend and
all the frontends by default, with environment variables to disable
parts of it.

Example: the transmission SlackBuild. I maintain that one, though I
didn't write it from scratch (took it over from previous maintainer a
while back).

If the sources ship separately, it makes more sense to do separate builds
for the different parts.
