OT: Method of packaging software for shipment

[Eric Cope]

I looked at using several virtual machines, one of IE7, IE8, Firefox,
Chrome, Safari, then letting rc drive it. The downside is that the selenium
folks have never used the PHP extensions to run it and I don't have a
machine good enough to have that many virtual machines run well, especially
vista/7.

Thanks for the phpundercontrol link, I will take a gander at it.
