The way that it is done with us is that we have machines either
maintained by us or other places. People install the autobuild scripts
and setup the builds. The results are placed on a webserver. That is
what is required of the build maintainer.=20

The person that takes care of the scoreboard maintains an xml file that
tells the scoreboard script where to grab the results. So xine really
only needs to do this part. I am sure that there are plenty of people
out there willing or able to host a build.

This way we get a mass of results with a wide variety of hardware
platforms, CPUs, and OS.
