I wonder if it would be helpful to have a buildfarm option whereby
it would fetch the latest nightly-snapshot tarball and use that instead
of a CVS pull. This would have the dual advantage of actually testing
builds from tarballs and requiring less stuff on the buildfarm machine.
It wouldn't be useful for more-than-once-a-day builds, but a lot of
the machines only build that often anyhow.
