The repository from where we got the binary toolchains
(http://github.com/raspberrypi/tools) also contains the crosstool-ng
config files that were used to generate them
(https://github.com/raspberrypi/tools/tree/master/configs).

Is it sufficient to include those config files along with a pointer to
crosstool-ng in the platforms/rpi directory?  This is enough
information to re-create the toolchains exactly as they are now.
(Note that it's not necessary to actually include the gcc source
tarballs as crosstool-ng downloads them as needed based on the config
file.)

I believe that what is up on my Google docs page is ready to be
released into the wild.  This does not mean it's perfect (Indeed, I
have a branch with changes that I'm not ready to release) but I
believe it works well enough to be useful.

My changes are mostly contained in config/platforms/rpi, and so
shouldn't affect much else in case of disaster.

Thanks for your feedback.
