My suggestion for how we could best take advantage of this would be to have useful nightly builds (release and fast with all dependencies against the desktop linux version) installed into a shared location each night in a directory labeled by the svn version or the date (eg /diva1/imp/release/12_11_2010).
That wouldn't be that hard to do if people wanted it. It would obviously be difficult to do that for every combination of architecture, build flags and dependencies, however (and old versions will become unusable if any dependency's API changes, when there is a Fedora update, etc.). You also can't patch a nightly build to fix a problem in it, or tweak something in it to see how it affects your code. What do you gain over simply building your own copy of IMP and point your lone module's config.py at that? Obviously you can check out whichever version from SVN you like and update it as frequently (or infrequently) as you choose.
