Here is a script that you might try. It acquired, compiled, and installed the
specified "Modules" ok. It had troubles with the nltools module. Haven't
checked into why yet.

---Begin---
#!/bin/sh -e

# Define your variables
# ------------------------------
HUSKYSRC=$HOME/bbs/src/husky
PREFIX=$HOME/husky
MODULES="huskylib smapi fidoconf areafix hpt htick msged"
CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@husky.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/husky
CC="gcc -Wl,-rpath,$PREFIX/lib"
# ------------------------------
setup ()
{
  mkdir -p $HUSKYSRC
  cd $HUSKYSRC
  cvs -d$CVSROOT co huskybse
  cp -p huskybse/huskymak.cfg $HUSKYSRC
}

checkout ()
{
  cd $HUSKYSRC
  cvs -d$CVSROOT co $MODULES
}

build ()
{
  cd $HUSKYSRC/$1
  make PREFIX=$PREFIX CC="$CC" LDCONFIG=
  make PREFIX=$PREFIX CC="$CC" LDCONFIG= install
}

setup
checkout

for module in $MODULES; do
  build $module
done

---End---
