Nightly builds, here they come

Hi everyone,
let's interrupt the flow of GSoC updates for a special announcement!

If you hang around with us in IRC you've probably noticed that Xeli set up a nice buildbot system that automatically compiles the latest version of Hedgewars and checks if each commit breaks a particular configuration (not that it ever happened Wink Smiley )

One of the amazing thing of our configuration is that we were able to setup a full platform check for Linux, Android, Windows and OSX (iOS might come up later on). Windows is compiled from unc0rr's machine through WINE while OSX is actually crosscompiled from Linux (yeah, we're officially in the club "I managed to crosscompile for Apple, yo!")

Today we bring this to a step further, nightly builds are available! Now our buildbot prepares some easy packages for every platform, so that you can live on the bleeding edge and try our new exciting features before official release! Getting some early feedback will help understand the community position on certain design decisions and also improve our release capabilities, by spotting and (hopefully) fixing bugs before an actual release.

So, don't waste any more time and head to http://xelification.com/nightly/

Cool, but it would be nice to provide data (and dlls) for windows too. I tried using the data from the linux build and the dlls from .17, but hw-engine spits up an error.

Also, it would be nice to package the binaries separately from the data.

Why not just set up a script to pull the latest changes and compile?
