You come a little too early :)
I recently started coding such a beast and I have it at a stage where it
builds, tests and also updates/configures the project servers for my
current project.
It's a small framework (four base classes and a couple of useful
implementations) but by no means ready for public consumption.
Currently I drive a rake/dmake/msbuild build with rdoc and doxygen
generation so I guess I have enough variety :).
The system is dRuby-based at the moment but the concept can be
implemented with Rails or whatever else you like.

I looked around for something that would handle the variety of build
methods my project has and DamageControl looked the more promising, but
I haven't seen any movement on that project since before RubyConf and
the other alternatives (CC etc. ) were just too specialized.
I guess with a bit of coding SwitchTower can be made into a continuous
integration tool as well (is actually very easy)
Cheers,
V.-

FWIW, I recently used CruiseControl for a C++/make project. I simply
wrapped the make build in a basic ant script, using ant's ability to
call external shell processes (this was on linux...). The same
approach should work with tools like Rake.

Damage Control is what you want.

Unfortunately, I just googled to find a URL to give you and there
doesn't appear to be any good information available.

I'm copying Aslak and hopefully we'll have public information
available soon. I know that he's been working very hard on it for
several months now and I'm pretty sure there is a release forthcoming.

Brick-and-mortar stores are also dead. Last week I went to Amoeba Music
in Hollywood. The streets of Hollywood were utterly deserted. There was
no wait to get into the parking structure. The place was not crowded with
maybe a hundred customers. I didn't have to say "excuse me" repeatedly to
move past any other customers browsing the CDs, even in the classical
section. When I was ready to make my purchase, there was no waiting in
line for a sales clerk. I bought a hundred CDs for a penny each, after
which wings miraculously grew from my shoulders, my body became trim and
muscled, my hairline moved forward again, and I was propositioned by Drew
Barrymore and Cameron Diaz.

All of those statements are utterly untrue. Especially the last one, dang!

How many times are you going to bring up Amoeba records as an example
"proving" that brick-and-mortar record stores are not dead?

This is ONE store, of which all used content can't even be considered
for this argument, versus the hundreds (yes, hundreds) of new record
stores this city had in its heyday.

LA is DEAD, and was dead long before the CD was even invented; why do
you think so many movies about the living dead have been made about LA?
