Yes, we've found a lot of cross-platform stuff in dipy in particular,
trying to get binary code compiling and running on Windows / OSX.  But
even with nibabel, it has been very useful to catch subtle differences
in Python / numpy configuration, such as different float precisions.
It also allows us to test a somewhat random selection of numpy and
scipy versions, which often catches changes in those libraries.

Other examples:

* Python itself : https://www.python.org/dev/buildbot
* Webkit : https://build.webkit.org/
* Mozilla : https://treeherder.mozilla.org/#/jobs?repo=mozilla-inbound
* Google Chromium : http://build.chromium.org/p/chromium/waterfall (beautiful!)
* GNOME : http://build.gnome.org
