Okay, I though this would take two weeks and now its four months
later. Anyhow...

I settled on Hudson now. This seems to be the favored solution by many
PHP projects at the moment. After comparing it to phpUnderControl I
can ensure you that it is indeed much easier to handle and way more
flexible. So this is the only solution I would be able to install on
dev.horde.org now.

With the stuff I added to Horde_Element and php-hudson-tools
(http://github.com/wrobel/php-hudson-tools) recently a Hudson based
setup becomes easy.

Would you like me to setup up another demo installation at one of my
servers? Or should I try to get it setup on something *.horde.org?

Cheers,

Gunnar
