[DUG] Automated builds

[Alister Christie]

There seems to be two commercial automated build engines that work with 
Delphi
Automated Build Studio
http://www.automatedqa.com/products/abs/?gclid=CITur9fb0ZICFSEYagod-Sn1Hg
Final Builder
http://www.finalbuilder.com/home.aspx?amp;language=en-US

There is a free one called WANT, but it doesn't seem to be maintained 
anymore
http://sourceforge.net/projects/want/

Running batch files doesn't sound all that much fun.  I'll look into 
CruiseControl.
