For short description:
I entered a short description, pressed enter, and it opened up an
editor window. I exited and it went on to ask about dependencies.
I believe this window was for the long description, but I saw no
mention of that before being put into it.

BUILD:
If I say 'n' to using default_build for my custom BUILD, it still puts
in "default_build" to BUILD; it does not do this for INSTALL.

DETAILS:
There are quotes around everything...(except for BUILD_API=2 ;))
It picked out the correct VERSION, but didn't use SOURCE at the end of
SOURCE_URL.

HISTORY:
I like how this auto-generates based on my custom file selection. :)
