I just saw this thread now.
I think this is a great plan. 
I'm willing to support the one (Casper ?) who will set up and maintain the 
Nightly (and maybe Continuous) builds from the CMake side.
We already do have dashboards for kdelibs and kdesupport at 
http://my.cdash.org/index.php?project=kdelibs , it's just that more or less 
nobody is running and submitting builds.

For Linux it's not that necessary, since we have that many developers there, 
for minority platforms like Windows ;-) it would be a very good thing.
Doing that in a virtual machine would also allow us to run e.g. also a FreeBSD 
in a VM and also have Nightly FreeBSD builds (CCing Adriaan, and I think 
Frederik was also interested).
