You are more than welcomed to automate a build on a per-checkin basis,
or nightly basis, to make sure the CVS compiles and passes the test
cases, however tagging the CVS and incrementing the build number
everytime someone does a checkin, or on a nightly basis is not desired.
The amount of CVS tagging would become unwieldy.

We manually handle incrememting the build number when we are ready to do
a release, the CVS can be automatically tagged with the ANT build script
when we do the release.

Thanks,
