SB2 does support the "tool distro" concept which would allow you to  
use a fixed set of utilities to build your target stuff, maemo sdk+  
does this. Lauri Aarnio is currently working on a SB1 compatibility  
mode for SB2, although I don't entirely believe it makes sense. But  
that's not my call to make ;)

I would like to hear what requirements you have that SB2 would need  
to meet?
