The first change I'd make is to set 'buildthreads' in BuildBIOS to 
%NUMBER_OF_PROCESSORS% - that by itself reduces the build time from 
around 7 minutes to 2.5 on my system. I also have some changes to the 
ReadMe.MD file to convert it to be a MD file instead of plain text, 
which massively increases readability on GitHub.  I've also been 
wondering about allowing more parameters to be passed through to 'build' 
such as reducing the verbosity to make compiler warnings more apparent. 
Finally, and this is likely more controversial - I've been wondering if 
the build scripts like BuildBIOS should be in python instead of Windows 
.cmd/.bat since python is already used elsewhere and is more flexible.
