...I'm pretty much speechless, please read the entire thread and you will understand why we do NOT want people posting builds with links for distribution until it is ready. If you don't do your own compiles and don't have the tools to compile on your own then you probably shouldn't be using it at this stage of the game. That doesn't mean you can't test, it just means we will especially not provide support of any kind to anyone using a distributed build because there isn't much we can do to help since it usually requires a recompile.
That said, I think you have a misconception about what CVS is and what a point release is. CVS (concurrent versioning system) is a place where developers (the ones who write and understand code) work on their program. It allows them to work together as a group with online projects. Because of the nature of CVS and the fact that it is "bleeding-edge" code, it may not always be stable and may not even always compile. That is where point releases come in. Periodically projects will call a "feature freeze", during a feature freeze nobody is allowed to commit any new features, the feature freeze is a period of time for fixing and stabilizing the code. This is my explanation, in a nutshell.
Alright, one more thing I want to discuss here, you mentioned why compile a new build every couple of days, well, those of us that follow the project and contribute something whenever we can keep our builds fairly up to date because we always know what is going on. XBMC is an open source project, that means the developers donate their time and their knowledge, they aren't getting paid anything to do this stuff, it's all free, please try to be a little more thankful in your future posts. Now, you also mentioned every month or so it's only a VERY MINOR bugfix...um...there were well over 800 updates last month, there were also several issues fixed, skin changes, new features added, etc. XBMC is a very active project, and this kind of activity is not uncommon to see, that's a lot more the a few minor bugfixes.
By the way, is
THIS you?

EDIT: Startup video/song? Try startup sound, it's actually called skin sounds and you can customize them quite easily. This should be asked to Team XBMC anyway, NOT US. I will not get into this with you so just drop it. The entire post is off-topic and unrelated and will not receive anymore attention from me.
