Heh. Please continue to bug me... I wanted to build one lately, but 
couldn't connect to the build machine - I suppose the IPv6 tunnel is 
down again. I'll try to build one again as soon as possible.

It would be great if we could get Martin an account there, though.

I'm really looking forward to having resumed SoaS-on-XO builds soonish. 
In fact, I hope to have joint releases for each target platform in the 
end for SoaS v2.

Cheers,
--Sebastian
