 9. After that trial build looks ok, set up tlpretest:

 We use cp because we want to start with exactly the last tlnet,
 and not recreate all packages, so that a file with a given name is never
 rewritten. See recreate comments in tl-update-tlpdb and tl-update-containers.

   Don't disable the cron entry, since we want to see if any commits
   are mistakenly made. Nothing more than svn update will happen
   with everything frozen.
