I wonder if this could get to the point where it could be done seti-at-home style, farmed out via a VM image. That is people would run the image to provide resources (and geographic distribution) to the build server cloud. Maybe they get a fast local mirror as a reward. If it were every that easy I would certainly love to run a VM! -Ryan
