New submission from Brett Cannon:

While devinabox was originally designed such that anyone running a core dev 
sprint could have an easy way to grab everything, it has turned out only core 
devs end up using it. That makes having a script to do checkouts, builds, etc. 
is overkill.

What devinabox should become instead is a README listing what people should 
checkout/download and build. Probably the only other file should be a shell 
script to do the thorough coverage.py run as found at 
http://docs.python.org/devguide/coverage.html#coverage-results-for-modules-imported-early-on
 since it's the most touchy. This would also allow for ripping out the details 
from the devguide and just point to the shell script at hg.python.org.
