OK, let's try and resolve this. My knowledge of Hudson is very limited so I think we need to meet half way here. Can you 
give me some pointers to where and how an SCM would be hooked in?

I know you said that the check-out is made before the build, but perhaps this could be set up as two builds? The first 
would just produce a list of things to check-out/update and Hudson would uses that the second. The way to accomplish 
that would be to run a buckminster import that just produces a BOM (no materialization), then extract the relevant SCM 
entries from the BOM and feed that list to Hudson.
