Some important options:
 
 *: =--without-tests= suppresses the automatic submission of tests when the build is done.
-*: =--platforms= takes a comma separated list of platforms. For a list of available platforms, see "Platforms" below.  You must specify the platforms you want.  (This is a change from the old BATLab.)  You can find a list of available platforms at http://submit-2.batlab.org/nmi/pool/status , look for "Pool usage by platform" in the left column. At the moment (2012-03-26) the set of platforms that we do nightly and rolling builds on is: x86_64_deb_5.0,x86_64_deb_6.0,x86_64_deb_6.0-updated,x86_64_fedora_15,x86_64_fedora_16,x86_64_freebsd_8.2,x86_64_macos_10.6-updated,x86_64_macos_10.7,x86_64_rhap_5,x86_64_rhap_5.7,x86_64_rhap_6.1-updated,x86_64_rhap_6.2,x86_64_rhas_3,x86_64_sl_6.0,x86_64_ubuntu_10.04.4,x86_64_winnt_6.1,x86_deb_5.0,x86_rhap_5,x86_rhas_3,x86_winnt_5.1
+*: =--platforms= takes a comma separated list of platforms. For a list of available platforms, see "Platforms" below.  You must specify the platforms you want.  (This is a change from the old BATLab.)  You can find a list of available platforms at http://submit-2.batlab.org/nmi/pool/status , look for "Pool usage by platform" in the left column. At the moment (2013-03-29) the set of platforms that we do nightly and rolling builds on is:
+x86_64_Debian5,x86_64_Fedora16,x86_64_Fedora17,x86_64_Fedora18,x86_64_MacOSX7,x86_64_MacOSX8,x86_64_RedHat5,x86_64_RedHat6,x86_64_SL6,x86_64_Solaris11,x86_64_Ubuntu10,x86_64_Ubuntu12,x86_64_Windows7,x86_Debian6,x86_RedHat5,x86_RedHat6,x86_SL5,x86_WindowsXP
 *: =--use-externals-cache= uses cached externals to speed the build. *May not work in new BATLab.* If you're testing a new external, do *not* use this option.
 *: =--release-only= builds the dynamic binaries, but doesn't package or return them. If you're just doing a compile test and don't need the binaries, this will speed the build by about 45 minutes. If you need to generate a package to give to a user (or to submit for testing), omit this option.
 *: =--desc= specifies a description that appears in the NMI web pages and can help identify your build.
