Tarballs and other [larger] binary blobs are uploaded into a HTTP/CGI
based lookaside cache using "make" targets, e.g.

  make upload FILES=foo-3.0.tar.gz

This would upload the file and add its MD5 checksum to the local
"sources" file in your CVS working copy.

There is no such build system yet. Seth Vidal does builds for 32-bit
and 64-bit x86 systems. We still request builds via a Wiki page:

For local builds, check out "make help".
