finally got around to testing it - very neat piece of work!
i used it with ffado-2.0, and it ran flawlessly.

a few suggestions:
* add a hint to use "rm -rf" to delete the build directory, to get rid
of all the svn metadata without manual intervention
* dump the output of the entire script into a file inside the sandbox
for later reference
* dump the actual commands that are executed (as a sort of
self-documentation)

could be potentially disastrous.... maybe slap in an additional "you are
sure you want to run this as root?"  ?

best,
