  It really is just way to big, what about mirroring our site (as
  other do) and building off of that? And in your example, you would
  need to have all computers set up for source builds (btw). If that
  is true then a simple download script will get all of those. 

  I am pretty sure that there are standard tools that will get this
  done for you, without building a big single bundle - and it really
  is not such a good way, as you don't want that - you would need to
  get a whole new one of everything for a small single change; not
  very good use of bandwidth.
