FX,

I have a friend who just loaded the MacOS binaries on his Mac laptop. 
He was excited about it and indicated he would like to get the source 
tree loaded on too with CVS.  I may be able to talk him into building 
binaries.  I can help him and if you have some scripts or something to 
help, just send them to me and I will see what I can do.  Weekly 
binaries should not be too difficult.

I also have access to windows xp machine and would be willing to get the 
cygwin binaries going if I can get a little help there too.
