Ok ours is primarily a web based front end to our business. So the
basically technology in context of a web based application is what I
need to think about.

A compiled binnary is good to rollback to but then you can always tag
the code base for releases and just check out a tagged version from
CVS. I cant see that being any difficult than compilling a given
application and creating a build.

Umm testing has nothing to do with compilling code. If I dont do proper
testing even compiled code will trash my system.

Yup OO and STL is what I like about C++.
