Once MacPorts has the software ready for a build system, I can start  
requesting hardware to support it. I have not looked at MPAB yet to  
see how close it is to an automatic build system. I also remember  
James saying MPWA would be used as the front-end for such a system,  
and I dont think MPWA is ready either.

So, if someone wants to lead the initiative to assemble the parts and  
explain how I can deploy it on hardware, I'd be happy to ask for more  
servers here.  If no one wants to take charge of this, I will  
eventually work on it, but dont know when I'll have time.
