Another element that is needed if we are going to binary releases is some
reasonable regression test suite. In particular, I have found many issues
when trying to port 32bit code to 64bit platforms that only pop out if you
run tests. For numerical software such test suites tend to be a bit
involved. Maybe the PETSc folks have some insight in this? Do we have any
ATLAS, uBLAS, or FLAME folks on this list?

Very good! I started to look at putting together a script that
automatically downloads
all FEniCS packages and builds a simple binary distribution. This could be
something to start with. But feel free to find another solution.
