[Anthill-pro] Complex Project examples

[Baker, Andrew]

I think the short tour of how this should be setup would be great.  We
have had a need for this for some time and only this week gotten to
implement iterations rather than copying many jobs manually.

This would be good to see in the script library.

The normal rules of thumb for deciding between multiple projects and 
multiple jobs are the following:

Can I check out and compile the different executables independently? 
(they have different source)
Do they have a different lifecycle? (can they be reused independently)

If either answer is "yes" you probably want different projects. 
Otherwise, you probably want a single project.

Also, keep in mind that if you are going to end up with many very 
similar build steps, it might be easier to have one parameterizable job 
that you iterate over in parallel. That's getting pretty interesting, 
but we do have something like that in our testing environment. If that 
sounds attractive let me know and I'll record a short tour of how that 
is configured and post it.
