Of course, if we had the NDS port ready for use in buildbot, and you'd  
follow the good old "commit early, commit often" rule, we'd get tons  
of free beta releases ;-). Same for the PS2 port...

I recently backported your changes on the 0.13 branch to trunk, but  
can't fully compile everything since I made the mistake of installing  
the latest devkitPro release, which is somewhat incompatible with the  
NDS port (mainly jstypes.h was renamed to ndstypes.h, which is easy to  
fix; and consoleInit received a new param, for which I am uncertain  
how to set it). Not nice that they change the API like that...

Anyway: It would be really good to hear your thoughts on the buildbot  
changes. In particular, my proposal to change the NDS port to use  
configure for building. The Wii port, which also uses devkitPro  
(albeit the PPC and not the ARM variant) does that already. For the  
NDS port, this would yield several advantages, including being able to  
build in external dirs, being able to use the buildbot, and would also  
make it quite easy to build the various variants (with engines en/ 
disabled). I'd be willing to work on this at some point, but given the  
past track history of my patches being ignored without a word of  
comment *cough*, I am hesitant to do so.
