Bootstrapping nightly build from subversion

I'm planning to set up automatic nightly builds of our source code.
The source code is stored in subversion and I'd also like to store
the nightly build script there. This raises the issue of how to get
the nightly-build started.

I could have a small bootstrap script outside of subversion, invoked
by cron, which creates a working copy of the nightly-build script
(directory) and invokes it with appropriate arguments. The nightly-
build script would, in turn, create a working copy of the source and
then invoke the makefile etc.

Unfortunately the bootstrap script itself would have to live outside
of subversion, but I'd really like to have _all_ of our scripts under
revision control.

I'd be interested to hear how the members of this list have solved
this problem.

Thanks,
Tim.
