A comment on that is that if there are different configurations for
releases and regular builds then theres a good chance they will get
out of sync and we dont notice the difference until a release is being
reviewed so we lose a lot of the point of testing the distribution.
Thats exactly what used to happen and its one of the reasons we're now
doing it the way it is. It does seem a waste to be building the src
distro and then not testing it though, so if there is a way of only
doing the binary one and using the same bin.xml file that would be
good.

A question is should we bother building the distribution as part of
the build? The original reason for that was so all the samples could
be tested from the distribution, but samples being added now are not
getting associated distribution itests so maybe we shouldnt bother.
