-Modified BuildMover.py to copy the src folder for ROOT
-Committed the new nightlies scripts to the trunk of the repository
    -Created a branch for the old nightlies
    -Maybe create a tar file or another brunch for the old-windows-scripts?
-Worked with Karol to merge his changes with ours into the nightlies scripts
-The changes in the server and in the client to check the nightlies environment are finished. Currently I'm checking the following:
    -All clients are connecting to port 8002 and machine lxbuild147
    -All clients start at 00:05
    -The machines where the clients are being executed are the ones expected
    -The configuration.xml is a validates with the scheme
    -The build area in each machine is cleaned every day
    -The AFS area is cleaned every day
    -There are enough space on AFS to hold the builds of the next day
    -There are not more clients that the ones expected
    -In case of any error found a mail is sent.
    -Any other suggestions?
