Details

I think that the build program should have a command line interface to allow users to set build options without needing to go to the web address. I realize that this is low priority, but I would be willing to work on it. CCing leaf for any opinion on how this could be intergrated with the source (in the mozilla/build dir?)

i think if you ask cls, the command line interface is provided through configure. Use of client.mk is really kind of superfluous... have you tried configure --help? is that what you're looking for?
Setting milestones to Future.
I think Zach is referring to a command line version of the build configurator cgi script. Zach, if you're still interested in this, go for it. Otherwise, I'll probably come back in a month or so and mark it wontfix.

one month, eight months...it's all the same.

This turned out to be the only valid bug filed in this component (that I can see, anyways). Moving to miscelleanous so that we can get rid of the component (see bug 425549).
