So this would entail creating a profile when building the war and 
running the director (to create that profile) during the build process 
for the platform (whatever the platform happens to be).  For my 
information/reference, where does the platform build usage of the 
director (to create the SDKProfile) exist?  An ant script or some such?

Thanks,

Scott
