Interestingly enough, the same thing happens at my day job.  In one case, we
had no working build for two weeks because a single person didn't do a build
test before checking in changes, and then, for the next 9 work days, checked
in hacked "fixes" that also hadn't been tested.

Given that a "make world" takes 1h50m on my K6 (as opposed to 17 hours on the
machines at work), there isn't a whole lot of excuse to do it.  Heck, I'm
testing *my* pending changes by compiling on a 486DX-33 -- and that takes 21
hours.

Remember:  the onslaught of <$1k machines means cheap build machines for
everyone ;).  (And, hey, they're also predictin < $500 machines soon!)
