x86-linux nightly binaries for gfortran

[Janus Weil]

Hi all,
I happen to have a x86-linux machine, whose dark and lonely nights I
could donate for building gfortran. I also think that providing
binaries is a very helpful service for many people (including me), so
I can just as well do it myself.

From my point of view it would be completely sufficient to have weekly
builds, so my suggestion would be that I do just that. But if people
feel it's necessary to have nightly builds I can do that too. (Any
thoughts on that?)

I would probably need some help to set up the automation (I've never
really used cron), but once that's done it shouldn't be a big deal,
right?

One thing that I don't have is lots of webspace to put the binaries
on, and I'm not sure how this is gonna be handled (there is a mirror
already?).

Anyway I'd be glad to provide binaries to the gfortran community ...

Cheers,
Janus
