What would extremely helpful would be a port that basically installed
a bunch of utilities to stress the system into a chroot enviorment
and ran a regression suite doing things like faking a large news 
server, serving a lot of http content etc.

It would be helpful if the port was two parts, one for the test
box and one as a client for the test box.

Just some ideas for direction if you guys want to pick up the ball here.
