  Almost, but not yet, but I actually bought two machines to build an
automated testbed. Now it's a matter of installing multiple OSs on each
machine, (one is an AMD64), and then dropping some automated scripts on
top of the whole setup. We could do this now with x86, as the nightly
"distcheck" run also has failures emailed. But I want to do this for
multiple platforms, since that's where the majority of the edge cases
are for Gnash anyway.

  Any volunteers to hack a Xen installation on these machines to support
4 OSs ? It'll be a learning experience for me... My thought on OSs was
to install OpenBSD, Debian, Fedora (for Xen) and Ubuntu. Later on I'd
like to expand this to support even more platforms.

  Since DejaGnu can output an XML file of the test results, more long
term I'd like to see the automated test results for each platform get
logged into MySQL, and have a web page where one can go through the
build matrix to see what failed or passed between the different
architectures.
