New app, recently added:
Description:
"Ad Hoc Helper lets you email a copy of your device's UDID (unique device identifier) to developers so they can add you to their Ad Hoc distribution profiles. This allows them to create a special version of their apps that can be run on your iPhone outside of the normal AppStore channels. Ad Hoc distribution is perfect for Beta testing as well as for small in-house projects with an limited distribution group, of up to 100 iPhones and/or iPod touches. To run, just tap the icon. A message immediately opens in your Mail application with your UDID information. Address it to the developer in question and send it on its way." Try it?

Could someone use this Ad Hoc
Could someone use this Ad Hoc process to allow end-users to compile an application for themselves, essentially making an ad-hoc distribution custom to that phone?
What's the procedure for "blessing" an app with the Ad Hoc magic and downloading it to a phone? Could an existing binary be tweaked after the fact and downloaded to the phone by adding "Ad Hoc" magic?
Could this procedure be used to make binary distributions of an app (for convenience and not to require end-users to have the SDK) and then have a tool "bless" the binary with ad-hoc goodness to allow it to run on the particular end-user's phone?
