[Adam Wolf <adamwolf@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I've got the Mac version building after every commit internally.  I hope to
add Linux tonight, and then as soon as the upstream patches for Windows
scripting builds get commited, I'll add that as well.  Once I trust them a
bit more, I can push them out to wherever.

I can definitely make the build server run through a set of scripts and
fail the build if any of them die.

While I'm hesitant to open up the build server itself (it's on my home
network), I'm working on having it pull all the configuration data and
build scripts from a publically accessible repository.

If anyone has publically accesible branches they want me to run through my
build server, let me know.
