Yet again, I'll point out that we've already been through this, and while 
it might work for a corporate, 9-to-5 environment it's not going to fly 
for our distriuted model.

OTOH, the Mozilla folks have already been through this process and come 
out the other side with a much better tool for the job.  It's called 
'tinderbox', and if anyone is motivated enough by _this_ round of the 
conversation to actually do anything about it, we can certainly arrange a 
small cluster to do the backend processing.
