Step 3 - check!

After considerable negotiating, arguing, pain (by me) and hard work (by James and Michael) my day-job project finally gets to tick off the Step 3 of the Joel Test - Do you make daily builds?.

If our platform had a GNU build system this would have been easy - make, xunit, cron, mail - but this is on Windows, so we have a solution held together by duct-tape and chewing gum (with more and more python getting added :-) But it is holding together.

The good news is that I now get an automated command-line daily build on a controlled build-box, straight out of source control, followed by xunit tests run automagically, with the result emailed to me every day (including logs so that failures can be analysed without returning to the build box).

Yay!
