Hi People,

I've only skimmed your other posts. I'll read them in more
detail later. I applaud you on your efforts to improve this
process.

FYI: Once you place a file on SF, you can't delete it! You should factor
this consideration into your plans.

3.4 executables still crash. I'm looking into this, but probably will
have limited time this week. Let me know if you want a variation
of my scripts which actually build a previous version of something usable
so you can use it as a basis for your initial efforts.
