I'll try to remember to do this for the next release. Our automatic 
build scripts don't do anything fancy like that right now. Of course 
they could probably be a lot better.

Here's what I'm using now:

alias nightly='cd /home/wordpres/public_html/nightly/make;export 
CVS_RSH=ssh ; cvs -d:ext:saxmatt at cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/cafelog 
export -Dtomorrow wordpress ; zip -R -9 
/home/wordpres/public_html/nightly/wordpress-`date +%Y-%m-%d`.zip 
wordpress/ ; tar czvf /home/wordpres/public_html/nightly/wordpress-`date 
+%Y-%m-%d`.tar.gz wordpress/; rm -Rf wordpress'
