 Improving software assurance through repeatable builds across all
 operating systems and verifiable build system security. Without getting
 into endless black holes (see http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/ken/trust.html),
 we should be able to document how our software was built and others should
 be able to repeat the exact same steps and build the exact same binaries.
 The binaries should be verifiable through some hash algorithm or forensic
 analysis of the resulting binaries.

 This goes towards improving our build integrity and build security once
 others can independently verify the binaries.
