There are lots of fun things can do with post-commit hooks, it would be 
possible to have .zip and tar.gz automatically built upon commit. I'd 
just need to think how that would be done per project directory.

Another (geek) possibility is that anyone with access to an svn client 
can checkout a plugin into their wp-plugins folder and even keep that 
plugin up to date from trunks via 'svn update'.
