Ok, since the VMWare image runs the same OS (or if it isn't already we
should use also Ubuntu 8.04LTS) I can just -bdist all the builds I
make on sage.math and we can then install them into the VMWare image
at some point. So far building pre atlas-3.8.2.p0 spkgs is a pain due
to the fact that it takes about 3 hours each and someone (I know who
it is :)) is building plenty of 3.2.3 binaries, so on occasion ATLAS
craps out, but I will get there over the next couple days. Since we
are using gcc 4.2.4 or so I should be able to get back fairly wide
since that compiler has been supported forever. I would really love to
have 50 to 75 version of Sage available just for the fun of it :)
