I've spent the last two days letting my machine build a snapshot
from a CVS update on 3/16 at about 7AM CST.  So far so good, now
that there is a GENERIC kernel config and the empty SFILES variable
in pc532/conf/Makefile.pc532 is fixed.  The build is (I hope)
nearing completion, and I have a couple of administrative questions
(that could probably just stay on -developers, but it's a bit more
specific to the pc532...)

First, I'm off to my brother's wedding tomorrow morning, and I'll
be back at my pc532 on the evening of the 22nd/morning of the 23rd.
Does anyone want a test snapshot of the pc532 or should I not bother
until we're ready for an alpha or beta?  Is anyone else planning
to do this so I can eliminate all the extra seeks across my disk?

Second, does anyone know of a way to save all the work my pc532 is
doing and still make a proper snapshot?  "make snapshot" starts by
doing a "make cleandir" among other things, and that is not exactly
beneficial to fast turn arounds on slow machines...  I'm a bit
worried I'll miss a step if I try to just make a snapshot by hand
though.
