The "vice versa" method is how it's done at the moment and what Bruce
has done. Develop/maintain an actual bootscripts package and during the
generation of the LFS book, extract the scripts and include into the book.
That does mean that anybody who wants to build the LFS book needs to
check out both the book and the matching bootscripts trunk or specific
branch. Unless the bootscripts package's SVN files and the book's SVN
files are merged. Or in some other way link them together. SVN has
tricks for that as well.
