Right.  What I am suggesting is that there be multiple versions of that script

assemble_synApps_5_9.sh
assemble_synApps_5_10.sh
etc.

These are easy to create.  Testing should include making sure that everything compiles on Linux, vxWorks, Windows, OSX.  The APS Jenkins build server could do that.  It should also run some unit tests on modules that depend on others, etc.
