so far, admins have been installing binaries, and I haven't heard 
much push back, because they want to install from scratch. For the 
next block of time... particularly because of the need to get the 
right compiler version, I was  thinking it might be  helpful to give 
sites the option of just  downloading a set of binaries.....

I could certainly check with the I2 sysadmins, and see if they'd set 
up this nightly build process for us.... now that the big move is 
finished, they might even have  some time.....

how would we would want to do the build of the various libraries? 
presumably not nightly....?

just build opensaml and shib version-X each night, and then  build a tarball?
