Hello Jiri,

When the build systems are running smoothly, builds are done daily off
the git head of tree.

The Linux build was hung up at the moment - so Sep 14th 2009 was the most
recent build. I've kicked off a fresh build now and I'll see if there are
any errors with it.

You mentioned the stats on the Scan site not being updated. That's true.
I haven't had time to do maintenance on the relevant scripts in quite a while,
so the site doesn't reflect the ongoing builds and defect count changes. :-(
