Yeah, sorry. I'll point to

though as a semi excuse. I should have written

"Hey, that's neat! are these kitware folk (er, that would be William?) 
committed to providing this dashboard indefinitely? For multiple branches? 
Have they got instructions on how to submit builds?"

The instructions Alex posted were CMake-specific; does this mean that 
unsermake-based builds support this as well? I'm just not *sure*, and 
dicking with build systems three times a day is not my idea of a good 
time.

OK, that provides useful feedback. Now I'll just hope William hasn't seen 
my outburst here on -core-devel and get in touch to see what we can do 
wrt. buildbotting from the EBN with Dartboard.
