This is excellent, thank you. I've wanted to recommend my building
configuration to other people before, but the amount of extra stuff on
the security BuildEnvironment page is pretty daunting. (Even setting up
a new computer is exhausting. :)

'umt' is a pretty awesome tool, but I can see how its use might be more
specifically awesome for the security team and less useful to everyone
else.

Thanks for condensing this down to something I'll be happy to hand out. :)
