As far as I know, that script isn't public.

Right, this should be removed as a remnant from the days when things
were built at install-time

Except that 3m doesn't build on architectures other than i386 and
amd64 (and maybe powerpc), so anyone running a server on another
architecture is still going to have to use cgc. Special-casing the
architectures that do happen to build with 3m is not something I
really want to deal with.
