The last time I built a xm-test ramdisk, the buildroot-snapshot was broken,
and I had to go back a few days to find a working one.  I'm wary of using
buildroot-snapshot for that reason.  Does anyone work within the buildroot
community?  Perhaps we could persuade them to keep "released" versions around,
rather than just the expiring, daily snapshots?

Ewan.
