Isn't everyone, though? :-P

Actually, not exactly.  It is broken for a couple of reasons:

* I've been busy with a variety of things, and haven't gotten gnome to 
build cleanly on the snaps again.  I _almost_ did at one point, then I 
was pulled to work on some other stuff.  Back to square one, whee!

* I hated jacob's tinderbox setup[1].  I struggled with it for a while, 
but now I've changed things so that I like how it's working.  These 
changes took a while, but I think they are mostly done.  If you take a 
look at the gnome2-snap tinderbox page 
(http://cvs.gnome.org/tinderbox/gnome2-snap/status.html), you'll note 
that things changed a little.  Hopefully it will be easier to figure 
out what is breaking with these logs.

You can look at the tinder page for the specifics of why the build is 
broken on each build.  redhat-80-i386 is missing a build dep, and I 
suspect a newer automake is needed for redhat-73-i386.  I haven't 
really tried doing redhat-72-i386 since I'd like to get the other two 
working first, but if anyone wants to help with it, I'll be glad to put 
it into the rotation.

I'll be taking a look at these problems this weekend, probably.
