What kind of platforms are we looking to have this on?
I have somewhat access to a large set of machines including the
following:

Compilers:
----------

Visual C++ 6.0 
Visual C++ .NET
SunCC 5.2
gcc (of course.. )

Platforms:
----------

Windows NT 4.0
Windows 2000
Windows 2000 Advanced Server
Windows XP Professional
Sparc Solaris 7
Sparc Solaris 8
Any version of linux, because ofcourse the distro's are free.


What kind of support would everyone expect from this? I would like to
know what all would 
Be involved or better yet, what the people from this group would
_expect_. Would anyone be
Oposed to a small fee for these? Maybe a subscription type fee that
would be very minimal in the range of 
$5/month , or something like that just so the machine's hosting this can
be paid for and the time doing this
Is paid for. As everyone knows bandwidth is not free nowadays and
depending on the traffic received it can cost
A pretty penny. I would like some ideas as to what could be done with
this and what people would/wouldn't do for
These binaries. This could become a great way to alleviate the build
pain some people experience.
