[Bf-committers] Official Optimized Builds?

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi,

 From management perspective: we offer official builds at blender.org  
because these are supported by a developer. These 'platform managers'  
also take care of proper scons/makefiles/mscv, and ensure we use the  
right versions of compiler, libraries, and so on.

It is really not that easy to setup a complete stable environment, but  
most of all... if we offer such builds, we should be able to support it  
too. What will it mean for bug reports for example? How much  
instability we can expect?

So; if there are developers here willing to work on a stable optimized  
build, and do full regression tests, and willing to support this in our  
bugtracker, I'm not against it.
