Oh, there is one modification. The "build.site" action in the cspec is 
what you get when you follow the instructions. It calls the "create.site" 
task. However, in (headless) buckminster 3.5, there is no "create.site" 
task. So, I created a duplicate called "build.site.5", which calls the 
"create.site.zip" task, which does exist in headless buckminster 3.5 (and 
3.4 as well, iirc).

This all started with this message:
http://dev.eclipse.org/newslists/news.eclipse.tools.buckminster/msg01114.html
(I accidentally replied only to you and not the newsgroup that I was using 
3.4, and you suggested trying out 3.5). Since then, as I've had time, I've 
been transitioning to the headless buckminster 3.5. But, it seems to be 
broken with respect to building legacy update sites.

I hope that helps :)

Thanks,
