So, can we put a serious one together and get a build farm!
What exactly do you have in mind when you say "build farm"? A set of systems running different OSes to test builds (AIX, Solaris, HPUX, Linux 2.6, Windows, etc)?
In the hope this is not again an abuse of the list: If you take a look at http://build.samba.org/ the hosts listed there regularly download the latest sources for several projects, compile them and run tests on them. The connectivity requirements for the hosts are very minimal: They only need to be able to rsync out. This has helped us (the Samba Team) big ways for portability, because many volunteers can donate free cycles.

Exactly. I think this is a must for the OpenLDAP Project and that we really need to make a good proposal for Jerry to take to Google.
