There is a lot of merit to exploring this
type of thing, long run, but there's nothing in build 
process (or PDE) that would do this now.


And, a potentially larger problem to think
about and discuss: Its sort of an unwritten rule that 
developers should be able to check something
out of CVS into workspace and have it behave mostly like 
it would in a pre-built version.  It's
hard for me to even imagine what that would look like.
