Just a humble suggestion, Dimistris: I tried to wget -m the folder containing 
your build scripts and dropbox laughed at me. I tried a few other tricks to 
download all the scripts so I wouldn't have to click 43 times to get them all, 
and just could not.

So if you do continue to maintain them separately, maybe it would be nice to 
zip them all up into one archive? I imagine the collection would only end up 
being a few megabytes; well worth it for one-click convenience.

Either way, thanks for the SlackBuilds!
