 I think that would be helpful. We seem to have most Linux variants
 pretty well covered. I now have a daily pull/build/test running on a
 FreeBSD 6.1 box. I am going to try to get a Solaris one going, too, but
 I have to first actually get the test scripts to pass _once_. :)

 AIX would be nice, since it seems easy to break. ;) OS X would be nice,
 too, though I suspect there are a few developers (Shawn?) who end up
 running the test scripts occasionally anyway.

 I am just calling the script below through cron, and it dumps a bunch of
 output if any test fails (at which point I go investigate manually). The
 only argument is the path to a git repo.

Thanks - that was a helpful spur to action. I'll check tomorrow how it
fairs pulling, building, running the tests etc. I've added a couple of
'try git tag -f's to it, so I have KNOWN_BUILDING and KNOWN_PASSING
points to pass quickly into bisect if necessary.

I'll shout the first time something breaks (after doing a bit of
rudimentary investigation), then maybe we can look at a way of
aggregating the build/test statuses and whether that should be pushed
to a website (or git repo, obviously) or some kind of alert.

Cheers, Mike
