Even better, the same machine running refleaks every 12 hours also
builds the docs.  It will complain if the docs don't build, so be
aggressive with the docs.  Any failures are sent do python-checkins.
You can also see the results from trunk here:

    http://docs.python.org/dev/
    http://docs.python.org/dev/results/

Here are the 2.5 results (only builds doc, not refleak test):
    http://docs.python.org/dev/2.5/
    http://docs.python.org/dev/2.5/results/

These pages are generated from Misc/build.sh.  As I mentioned,
build.sh runs every 12 hours.
