Requires that all your assets are also on cvs (?).

I guess you could do those things yourself when the build is done, but heck, why not just handle the build yourself from the start.

I doubt it can do custom post build commands such as code signing, building a final installer, or rscying files to a linux server and restarting the process.

Requires that you commit each change to a cvs such as svn, perforce, or git.
