Well, I was talking about SVN because it's simply a "better CVS"; of course there are many other versionning systems.CDash allows you to store and display build results on a server. It's well integrated with CMake/CTest. See for example the report for OSG on the CDash public server: http://www.cdash.org/CDashPublic/index.php?project=OpenSceneGraph
Did you know that curl already has an autobuild system? The build results are at http://curl.haxx.se/auto and people can run their builds with the curl/tests/testcurl.pl script. I have a cron job set up to run a build of cvs HEAD every day which gets mailed to the server. It's really easy.
It seems that it would be a lot of work to migrate to a new VCS and build system for no real benefit. Arguments about which VCS or build system is best can provoke religious wars as bad as Mac/PC and vi/ emacs. :) For instance, I'm quite comfortable with GNU autotools, but some bad experiences have caused me to hate CMake with a burning passion comparable to a supernova. But that's just me. :)
