the current plan for the buildsystem is:
 make tag
 make build

this will mark a 'tobuild' file in common and the build system will
query that file on a regular basis and build whatever is in there.

right now the querying and srpm generation via this system is done, I'm
trying to make sure we get good results as to what failures hold a
package back.
