and can I expect it to build?
what state does it represent?
(i.e. is it a continuation of the same tree - or a rebuild from the 2.4.0
final)

The 2_4 tree is building.  If it's not building, report it here.
It represents what will someday get to Linus.  Hopefully sooner rather than
later.  It's a new tree which is the old tree.  Cort made a new one, called
2_4 and I put all of our changes from 2_3 back in.  It's based off of 2.4.0
final.

is there any point trying kernel.org 2.4.0 final? (or ac3 - which I pulled
last night)

It may help to create nightly diffs between Linus' 2.4.0 and linuxppc_2_4 and
put them on some FTP site. People still more like patches than bk :-)
