Client side is very easy to setup.   If you notice on the each of the builds, there
is a note.  If you click on the note, it contains the ctest script used to drive
the dashbaord.   Examples of setting up cron or windows scheduler can be
found here:

Here is the script I used for the nightly:

This one does continuous:

As I said, I have no problems running the server side of the dashbaord.  I am just
having trouble keeping up with the client and the changes to qt-copy/dbus, etc.
