We also need to be able to run 'make dist' in order to produce
nightly snapshots.
Whether those are actually useful to anyone in $currentyear is of
course up for debate, but as long as we need to produce them then
we can't really get away with a standalone script.
We could perhaps just utilize jenkins for creating the nightly
snapshots ? IIUC, you can publish artifacts from builds, so
we could have a job building a dist and publish that. Even without
the GNULTS/CentOS6 problem I thnk using jenkins would be a better
approach that a cronjob shell script, as we know exactly what
environment we'd be creating the dist in.
