The quick approach to this would be just to set up an folder that is web
accessible, say:

http://puredata.info/auto-build/latest

then set up an rsyncd to allow uploading from the whitelist build server
IPs.  Currently running still are the 10.6 server in Weimar,
debian-stable-amd64 and debian-testing-amd6 at HfBK, the 10.5/powerpc
server at Sewanee, and the 10.5/Intel machine in NYC.
