OK.

The build folder is 70MB large. Could this be reduced further? This is not a hard requirement
but it would be nice if this could be reduced a bit.
In any case, I will give it a try and create a simple feature + plug-in for Eclipse that packages
the latest CouchDB w/ Erlang runtime for MacOSX + code that starts CouchDB from within Eclipse.
