+Instruction on how to replicate our build system would be nice. It would
+not be that hard to write, just :
+- install X vm
+- make them communicate for network, using proper name 
+- install proper dns resolution 
+- do a svn checkout in /etc/puppet
+- set up puppet ( some package to install, 3*X commands to type )
+- enjoy

+Having a working out of the box package of iurt would be a killer
+feature. Fedora does offer mock for that, and that's quite handy.
