The reason I say "Scary" is that it won't work if yuou don't happen to be 
connected. For some things, that's still a pretty big assumption. My buddy has 
to maintain a seperate set of makefiles, or fake out DNS and stuff if he wants 
to wander out in the country (beyond the reach of wireless) and still make 
some progress.

But yes, it's amazing... you want to build an executable, and at the start the 
lastest source and patches may be scattered 'round the planet, but when you're 
done...
