We build our CDT releases from our local CVS using slightly modified
build.sh and target map files (I'm only interested in building the
Linux targets, and I get the relent scripts to build our plugins as
well).  It was relatively straightforward to tweak into doing what we
want ~1/2 day of effort + a few hours every now and again when the
platfrom changes in odd ways (p2 *cough*)
