Seeing the build forest for the build trees
We're still getting ready for branching Mozilla 1.8. Part of that prep work is tuning our build systems to build code from the branch. These past two days I've spent putting together the Mozilla1.8 and Mozilla1.8-l10n* build trees.

These systems are doing trunk builds until the branch is created. The main configuration details are in-place: they upload to latest-mozilla1.8, they report with special names based on what they're building, etc. When we branch we'll be busy shifting these builds to grab code from the branch so that we have immediate build coverage.
