[Anthill-pro] Complex Project examples

[Eric Minick]

Curtis,

Good point. I used one of our test environments for the video so it was 
a sneak peak at the next release. Whether it ends up being branded 4.0 
or 3.4, it is a pretty major overhaul of the UI. There's still some 
testing and fixing ahead of us, and that "My Builds" page needs 
attention as well.
