OK - sounds good. What triggers the builds? I don't know how this stuff 
all works... I imagine the build system polls the svn repo (how often? 
Every half hour or so? faster, slower?) and if anything has changed 
since the last check, it updates its images then triggers a make?
Is it like that? Or does it trigger off any svn change?

I guess what I'm thinking about is that I might commit a few small but 
possibly related changes, close together in time - I wouldn't want each 
one to trigger a rebuild sequence, I guess I'd want it to wait until 
several changes were in and I'd stopped messing about, then do the rebuild.

Also, what toolcahins are you planning on supporting? I guess that a 
command line is easier, so OSX via the Makefile is easier than Xcode? (I 
always use the Makefile anyway, but I know you use Xcode some.) Though I 
guess xcode-build (or whatever the command is...) works for automating 
the CLI on OSX?

Ditto for VS I guess - the shell is easier to automate than invoking the 
IDE? Though I favour mingw on WinXX anyway!

Yes - once you get past how different Unity is, it all works fine. 
But... you know, it is different...

(Though I do wonder if we could extend Fl_Sys_Menu_Bar to support the 
Unity menu bar model? Though I took at cursory look at this and got 
bogged down real fast.)

Sounds great!
