[M3devel] moving to new target names, in Hudson?

It will require a lot of manual work, compared to the more or less
automated transition I just made from release to current for all the
jobs. The target platform names are part of the jobs, and are also used
in various places in the build scripts, so that many things are likely
to break.

My guess is that it will take some days for every target move given my
current attention pattern for cm3, i.e. have a look at how things work
out now and then between other work.

Let's wait until all the jobs work again with their old target names,
