On second thought, this idea gets less stupid if your "buddy" isn't a
human being.  We could always do what a lot of other projects do and
auto-upload a "nightly" snapshot.  The last thing BuildBot could do
after a revision passes all tests is "make dist", date stamp the
tarball, and scp it to the public server.  I'd still prefer just
checking in autotools output, but as long as there's some way for
autotools-bereft users to build a recent snapshot I'm happy.
