Hi, Andrew.  I'm happy to share what I learn along the way.  At this point,
I'm trying to get clear about the various build approaches that are in play.
The impression I'm forming is that what I called method (a) is the legacy
method, if you will, and the developers are trying to implement two automated
build systems: one for releases -- method (b) -- and one for the buildbot, and
apparently there are some distinctions between those two.  Is that right?

By the way, my XP partition is still bootable, so I'm not restricted to Win 7
and may be able to help with an XP buildbot.
