Attatched Perl script can build nightlies, needs some major cleanup, uses 7-zip (open source: http://www.7-zip.org) to create the sfx archive

Comment on attachment 7516 [details] Perl script to build nightlies 1. This should be separated out into a "build-spinneret" script. 2. We don't generally commit commented out code, so we'll need to fix the various comment areas. 3. I don't think you need all the attributions at the top of the file. 4. I'm not sure what an sfx file is... 5. We haven't historically distributed built copies of our testing tools, but I guess if you feel it useful enough we could do such for spinneret. I think this is a good first start, but this will need some revision before we can commit this.
Eric, in regards to distributing copies of testing tools I think Spinneret is very similar to SVG DrawTest in that regard. An "sfx archive" is a self-extracting executable containing the necessary dependencies to run Spinneret -- apparently Firefox on Windows uses something similar. At the very least this script could be useful to hook into the buildbot for a similar use as the OS X one in bug 8188 :-)
