running a v7 NB from hg checkout?

I'd like an easier way to keep up-to-date with v7 of NB on my Mac OS
X 10.5.6 system.

I've followed the instructions here:

http://wiki.netbeans.org/RubyInstallation#section-RubyInstallation-HowDoIGetTheContinuousBuilds

I downloaded a recent NB v7 release:

   netbeans-hudson-trunk-4693-ruby.zip

I also downloaded the Java cluster.

And while there were a few out-of-date/incomplete parts in this section:

   http://wiki.netbeans.org/RubyNetBeansOSX

To make it into an app for my Mac required a bit more fiddling around
creating an app dir and moving the downloaded code into it, wiring it
up, resetting various version strings, copying the icons from the NB
6.5 release I had downloaded earlier.

I'd like to make this easier.

Can I setup an mac app structure where the code I downloaded above is
just checked out using mercurial right into the test app?

Also -- can I use NB with trunk JRuby instead of the JRuby 1.1.4 that
comes installed?
