Christian and I were thinking of automatic build tests to ensure a
good compiler/OS compatibility. Unfortunately the tools we found were
either in an early stage, undocumented, had security drawbacks or all
of the above :) Hopefully a good solution appears in the near future
so that we could put "building daemons" on some machines and
automatically check for failures. http://buildbot.sf.net/ seemed nice
but needed some heavy Python-scripting when we checked... if someone
stumbles over a good solution please tell us :)
