- For RC, latest CVS (trying to sync with when the "call" for RC goes 
out).  For release, tagged CVS
- scons, but with some catches.  ffmpeg doesn't compile using scons, so 
have to use make to compile it.  Also, static libraries are a pain (for 
me anyway), so I choose to rename the linked libraries to something 
different from the shared versions
- usually just test to make sure the binary runs and maybe check some 
python scripts
- I'm also using debian stable (etch) chroot
