I have an initial implementation of the VM based build process.

The code is here: https://github.com/devrandom/gitian-builder

You will also need a build descriptor file, which is here: https://gist.github.com/803438 .  The file wxWidgets-2.9.1.tar.bz2 goes in the ./inputs directory.

Very nice!

Is there a standard spot to put the build descriptor file in the source tree, or a standard name for it?  I'd like to commit the build descriptor file.

bitcoinex:  I'll tag the tree when I think we have a release candidate.  There are still a few loose ends I hope to tie up today:

1. New -testnet genesis block.
2. New block chain lock-in point.  I'm thinking block 105,000 is a good candidate for the lock-in point.
3. Compile/run/sanity test on Windows.  I am planning on spinning up an Amazon EC2 Windows instance to create a build/testing environment (although probably a VMWare image would be better-- can anybody help with this?  I normally don't do windows).

Am I missing anything else stopping a 0.3.20 release candidate?
