Build and code distribution system

This covers all system work, excluding maintenance and support of the basic library.

Priorities

Stability: A fundamental requirement in this cycle is the continued provision of a stable build to maximize application development and testing efficiency. The project is now operational and build failures have a significant impact on applications development efficiency and the ease of user support.
Initial developer support: An initial group of external developers is starting to use the system for exploratory development. This group can be supported in the most cost-effective manner by starting to provide formal support for external development on very restricted platforms in advance of the full developer's release, which is planned for 2001.

Complete initial developer's release: Document the makedefs, and provide an installation FAQ for an initial developer's release, targeted at RedHat and SuSe Linux systems of restricted version numbers. Test the resulting CDs. (DS, H, 2 wk).
Update the project compiler: Evaluate gcc 2.95.2 as the project compiler; adopt if review and associated change proposal are accepted. (AK, H, 2 wk).
