Looks great, thanks !

Could I perhaps get you interested in making the following additions ?

- put the main results of each build in a separate directory, so that
  also historical builds are available. That way, people could just
  refer to a "known good" version. (Might use a ton of disk space,
  though.)

- provide also u-boot images

- provide a devirginator configuration file, similar to how
  http://svn.openmoko.org/developers/werner/snap/
  does it.

I did a few snapshot builds of that sort some months ago. The host has
changed roles since, and they're now here:
https://buildhost-webkit.openmoko.org/~werner/snap/

The basic idea is that one could point the devirginator to a single
config file, instead of having to edit all the version strings
manually each time. (And get them wrong every so often.)
