Uh, I don't think giving everybody accounts on baikonur (the interreality.org server) is going to solve much. For one thing, it only runs Debian, and a big part of the discussion here is how best to support building on Windows and OS X. We intend to do 3rd party world hosting at some point in

It's actually "make distcheck" that's interesting in this case. In automake it gives you a single command that will build a source tarball, unpack it to another directory, runs configure and does a build. It's a very useful automated sanity check on your source distribution. Also "make dist"
