Hi Matt,

I'll try to have some more feedback for you later, but I was thinking
about this part:

Is that really what you want?  It seems that especially for the nightly
snapshot builds you'll want the ability to do a single SVN checkout and
build everything.  If they run independently you'll risk having
different SVN versions in the various platform specific builds.  That's
undesirable from a support standpoint.

On a related note, Dean mentioned in a different thread that your new
build system will have the ability for developers, including community
members, to manually kick off nightly builds.  That seems like a good
reason to switch the naming convention for all of the nightly platform
specific builds from the current date format to SVN rev number. 
Otherwise you could have different versions of the builds floating
around with same filename and date.
