Just to keep you up to date: the builds started on Wednesday at about 10:00 GMT, and the first rebuild completed this morning. I set of the second today (Thursday) at around 08:40 GMT, so it should all be done by Saturday. I should have the results of this for the ctte sometime on Saturday evening, time permitting.
