The next step will be to add a parser that collates the build reports
to a summary. In order to do this, I will store data in a relational
database. Eventually, that database should be able to drive a website
to present data that can answer these things.

Also, it is in the TODO to store the list of files that gets updated
each time we synch with SF CVS. It exists in the cvs_master.sh

     files=`$cvs -q update`
     # FIXME: Save the files list
     if test `echo "$files" | grep "^[CPUMA]" | wc -l` -gt 0; then
         echo "- module was modified"
	 modified="yes"
     fi

... but isn't kept. Storing this list would help us keep track of what
actually change from build to build.

Currently, each machine can only do one build, since module name and
uname info is used to differentiate them. We will want to change this
so that we can have multiple versions. This is a perfect project if
you want to contribute to the Snake Farm, as it can be developed and
tested on any UNIX box.
