I know you can do all this with CruiseControl/CruiseControl.Net 
(Automated Continuous Integration server). I used CruiseControl.Net 
before and it works great. I found out about this software by looking 
around on the sharpdevelop page. CruiseControl/CruiseControl.Net. uses 
Ant, but you can start Scons from Ant.

Check this out:

I guess if you want to do a Windows build on linux with MS VC++ someone 
could use a Qemu/VMware Windows XP virtual machine... If you use a Mac 
you could do all the important builds via VM, like Windows, Linux and 
Mac and more.
