Still thinking about it.  I haven't written a line of code yet. :-(  I
was originally was thinking of trying to get a hold of lots of weird
hardware and operating systems and setting up a little test farm.
Emutators like bochs and vmware would be useful too. I've decided that's
not the right solution though.

Now I want to build a distributed system.  There would be some
cross-platform software that people could install on machines they have
laying around.  The more and weirder the better.  The system would
receive signals to start a build and regression test and send the
results to some collector.  The signal could be based on the CVS checkin
list.  The collector could generate summaries and post them to
python-dev.
