Done. Didn't only change the name but got build errors fixed, together
with Natamar project member Edward O'Callaghan. On his request we
upgraded on and sfw consolidations to b100.

Now an interested individual (if any, beyond grand-master Moinak
Ghosh) could do:

http://www.martux.org:8001/
http://www.martux.org:8001/?mf=e6942e95ba84;path=/

#0) mkdir testws && cd testws
#1) hg clone ssh://anon at www.martux.org/hg/generic_distro_bulk
(the password is "OpenSolarisIsGreat", also for push access)
#2) cd generic_distro_bulk
#3) ./download-tarballs && ./build-all__generic_distro_bulk

The download: and all: targets are strictly separated now, so after
"make download" (or ./download-tarballs) Internet-connectivity should
not normally be required anymore.

`tail -f` the log files from another terminal tab, they go into:

log/generic_distro_bulk-ALL
free-source/on/build_32/log/nightly.log
free-source/sfw/build_32/log/nightly.log
free-source/fox-gate/build_32/fox-gate/log/buildit-XW
(the name "build_32" is misleading, but chosen for convenience)
Be aware that, due to a bug either in nightly or in on's and sfw's
Makefiles, on's nightly.log and sfw's nightly.log files sometimes
remain unchanged for over an hour, although the nightly build is
running just fine (and eating up cpu as well as disk-space). Be
patient in that case.
If the entire build takes less than over a day, then there was some
error and the build somehow failed. It would be nice if you would
report this, in case it happens. Thanks.
