We've been having this discussion internally for some time. There's a lot of
friction because a) we have to update lots of developers, and b) we have to
rebuild all the libraries and distribute them internally.
We've been working on a tool called autobuild which will automate this process;
it's almost ready. It should make it lots easier for us as well as opensource
developers to get a build up and running, and will centralize the tool
decisions so that we can finally upgrade fairly easily.
