7.  Once you Checked Out the source code from FMA SVN repository we recommend
    installing NTFS Link, available from http://www.elsdoerfer.info/ntfslink/
    and to create a NTFS junction point in "\fma\trunk" folder which points
    to "\locale" folder. Please name this junction point "locale".

8.  The file uAbout.inc will be generated from uAbout.templ by using the batch
    script UpdateSvnRevision.bat in repository root folder. Run it before any
    release build.

It should be all, let us know if you've anything to add. Good luck!!
