[DUG] Command Line Compiler

[Jolyon Smith]

Re FinalBuilder:  I wouldn't say it's a "small" cost but it's still worth
it.  And if you can get away with a single license to service your team's
needs, then even better.

Getting scripts right can be fiddly and time consuming - not least because
of some of the "querks" I alluded to - but once they're stable it's great.
 
BUT, it's a great product and support is superb.  I identified an issue with
the SVN STATUS action last week.  I logged a report on the forums and within
2 hours a new build was available with a fix for the problem (which was the
result of a change in behavior in the SVN 1.6 client).

I use and recommend FinalBuilder (http://www.finalbuilder.com/).
It has a small cost but easily makes up for itself once you run your
build the second time after getting your script complete.
