With a few exceptions (e.g. STS IdP) while most of the necessary components
auto-build nightly, most of the Higgins 1.1 solutions do not yet auto-build
nightly. Three reasons:

1. For one or more of the components used by the solution, the component
build script is missing but our home-made build system [1] should work.
2. To build one or more of the components would require enhancements (e.g.
to handle nightly C++ compilation) to our home made build system. We¹ve
decided never to do this and instead to cut over to creating a Buckminster
build script instead.
3. The solution requires one or more non-Eclipse-Higgins redistributable
libraries.

Solutions to each of these three are, respectively:
1. Just write the script
2. Write the Buckminster script
3. ...ah the interesting one

To solve #3 involves building solutions off of the Eclipse-Higgins site. I
have started a page to gather requirements for this here [2]. Please review
and comment. As you can see from reading [2], you WILL be able to go to the
new Higgins download page [3] and download complete executable solution
artifacts. The links for ³type #3² solutions will simply point to an
Azigo-hosted download page.
