Fresh builds

Just a quick thought for the GG team, and for anyone who wants to comment on it.
How about a 'nightly build' type deal for the HEAD version of the Torque executables? (Yeah, I know, nightly would probably be overkill.) Here's why I mention it - I have two offices. A day job, and my home office. When things are slow at the day job, no one minds me working on Torque based stuff for myself. In fact lately I've been getting more done during the day than at night.
At the home office, I've got WinCVS setup, VC++ (actually, got that set up both places), etc. At the office, I don't have WinCVS setup - 'specially because I'm tryin' ta be kind to GG's bandwidth since they only alot (x) amount of transfer from CVS weekly anyway.
Of course, if I screw up, and haven't looked in the CVS for a while at home, and think of it while I'm at work, I'm SOL until I get home again. It would be nice to just grab a .zip (or .tgz for the Linux box beside me) that has the most current executable from the HEAD version so I can keep things up to date anytime I think about it. And even cooler - it means I could continue to work with the freshest versions while I'm out on the road (which isn't uncommon for me, and since it's Dial-up only while I'm bein' a road'ore doing something like a complete checkout on a new machine is outta the question.)
Just a thought, and might make some people's lives easier I suppose. I'm probably in the minority here ;-)
