Thanks for the reminder about PITA. I'd (unforgivably) forgotten about
that project when I first enquired. Sorry 'bout that. ;-)

I don't see an urgent need, though it's something we'd like to have.
I guess the main pressure is coming from the grass roots level where
a Java programmer might enquire "why don't we use CruiseControl?" or
a .NET guy might suggest something else or someone else just saw an
article on BuildBot and asks why don't we use that. I do find it a bit
disturbing that noone seems to ask about Perl-based solutions. ;-)
In the name of empowerment or anarchy, we could allow each group to
do their own thing and set up their own preferred tool themselves.
OTOH, we might try to build a single system that worked with Java,
.NET, C++, Perl, and so on. In terms of requirements, our Perl stuff
is standard TAP, while our C++ stuff has very home-grown non-standard
multi-platform builds and regression test suites.
Thanks,
