I took an approach with a little more automation: Tools/buildbot/external.bat gradually learns how to fetch and build the necessary prerequisites; to avoid moving URLs, these come from the external/ directory of the projects svn (in case of bsddb, this already has the patches, and the VS project files converted). > If people don't mind having prebuilt binaries checked in Well, I do mind having prebuilt binaries checked in.

There is the AnyBranchScheduler, but it seems to serve a different purpose.
