Thanks for the pointer, it's a nice example of using the git hooks.

However perhaps it's a little too simple for our needs. We have multiple build targets/hosts and configurations building out of the one repository. We currently have a homemade script that runs nightlies and emails the results, however to expand the build test we probably want something that give a simple web-page overview of the current status.
