Sorry that I just chime in, but wouldn't it be more appropriate to go for a
system similar to the one at mozilla.org? They do pretty much the same
things that have been discussed here, but it looks so cooool... and does not
bother people on normal mailing lists. They have tinderbox.mozilla.org,
which always inidcates current build status on a number of machines (and
OS-es) the log is available too. And it is integrated with the CVS system so
you can see at once what commits have been made since the last build
attempt, etc. Maybe we could adapt this system to our needs? (they do not
bother about warnings, for example.)
Just my thoughts...
