Reorganising the source tree like we've been doing recently means that the build scripts for the nightlies have to be updated. A number of the places where the updates were needed were very late in the build process, meaning that a three hour turnaround per attempt at a fix was required. When combined with the occasional build breakage on trunk during my attempts at spinning builds, this led to a larger dead period in the nightlies than I would have liked. - Mark
