[wp-hackers] Nightly build generation

Could we add (per mosquito issue 437)?:

	echo -e "<?php\n\n\$wp_build = '$BUILD_DATE';\n\n?>" > 
wp-includes/build-date.php

(adjust directory so it fits the appropriate place)

Doing it this way avoids messing with version.php.

Also, in Kitty's original version:

	cd /tmp/build-nightly && rm -rf *; # don't want to rm unless in dir

The '&&' is an if-and-only-if that should prevent the rm from being 
executed if the cd fails, thus preventing total annihilation. But her later 
version has better error checking which prevents files from being spilled 
in the wrong place. However, this:

	else
	  echo "couldn't find build dir."
	fi

goes nowhere when run in a cron job. It should either be mailed or logged.
