Another reason is that it is a little easier for us to manage
"publication" of the CI artifacts using Continuum / vmbuild.  We can
publish both jars and zips/tarballs to a local maven repo on vmbuild
and set up rsynch to people.apache.org, eliminating some of the
ugliness in the bash setup.

So can I get some feedback on the "what to publish" question?

1. Most recent successful build only
2. A stack of the n (probably = 5) most recent successful builds

I guess if we really want to hold on to the "nightly" idea, we could do

3. Symlink nightly the subset of 2 that correspond to the last n nights.

3. gets us back into bash/cron more deeply.  1. is bash/cron free
(other than rsynch) and 2. requires cron cleanup.  All are simpler
than the current bash script, though.  I am happy help implement any
of these.
