This goes back to the question of who should be using SVN.  I know basic
C/C++, but not everyone does.  Fixing a compile problem could be very
easy - or perhaps not.  

My perception is that it's good to have non-technical (from a
programming sense) users that are willing (perhaps have a test system or
no wife / kids ;-) ) to test.  That point could be argued.

I do agree with the 'make distclean; ./configure; make' though.  I
should have said that.  I forgot because I rebuild the every time anyway
since I package my own SVN RPMs...

I also read the mythtv-commits list religiously and don't have a test
machine - which is why I haven't used SVN in quite some time.  :-)
