Stuff to look for in plague 0.4

Quite a few things will change for plague 0.4:

o Single builder, multiple jobs: you'll only have to run one builder instance on 
a machine to run multiple build jobs; each builder will be able to build a set 
number of jobs at a time (usually equal to # of processors).
	- Architectures are autodetected

o New config file format: it's now using ConfigParser, which means more 
straightforward and text-friendly config files, for both the server and the 
builder.

o Targets get their own config files: each target, on the server and on the 
builder, gets its own config file.  This means a few things:
	- each target can have its own CVS settings
	- each target can be a different distribution

o Scratch/Testing targets: targets that don't contribute packages tothe 
repository, so you can test out your packages before you actually push them 
through.  Scratch targets also don't kill a job when one architecture fails.

If anyone has more thoughts, file some RFEs in bugzilla for Fedora Extras 
Infrastructure.
