[self-interest] [Ann] Native

[Russell Allen]

Well it's in a separate branch at the moment. 

But I think you are right. We should get a decent reasonably regular release procedure in place.

Maybe we should do a release called 4.5* with just your new build system, and then do 4.6 with this and any other stuff?  Then we can maybe add any other new necessary primitives in one go.

eg new built snapshots, OS X and Linux binaries.

Best, Russell

* Or maybe we should go down the Ubuntu path and call it 2014.1  ... Sounds newer :)

If you build a vm and image based on that branch then you should be able to play with it. I've pasted below a description. I've only tested it so far with MacOS X and not Linux.
