OK, I will write a separated mail about it soon.

We can't really monitor wine-gecko daily. wine-gecko is updated only
when I do merges (in the past it was about once a week and I hope to go
back to this strategy). I always make sure that it builds and that Wine
can use it after such merge.

However, we may build on top of Gecko (mozilla-central) tree. That's
where most build problems come from (the diff between those branches are
our modifications for Wine). I thought about it a bit. I have a cron job
that builds Gecko tip nightly on my box. The easy way would be for this
cron job to send a mail to such mailing list. However, I'm not sure
that's a good idea. The tip usually needs some patches on top of it to
build, so it's not really usable for people without them. I could
publicize those patches, but then we have a pretty complicated situation
anyway.

We were also talking about more ambitious solution of setting up build
bot. That's much more work, but it also has way more benefits. It would
be great to have such thing working, but I can't spend too much time on
it. If we had a volunteer to do that, I'm happy to talk about it.
