I guess we do closest to #1, I guess. The builds
are run periodically and automatically. We do a fresh
"cvs rtag" + "cvs checkout" rather than an export...
But not for any real reason. (though the build scripts
look once in one of the "CVS" directories to get the
tag, but that's not a real reason, as it could be
(shoudl be) done other ways. We also build
on multiple platforms. We handle that in the
simplest way possible, by doing multiple
checkouts.
