The --user= option implies do not use SVN but instead use downloaded
tarballs.  If I specify --user=anonymous, the build scripts think I have
SVN installed on the machine which I cannot install :-(

I'll see if I can figure out how to make a HTTPS handler available.  For
now I will have to use regression.py to do the build, and when it fails use
run.py to collect and upload the results.
