Due to the way I work and what hardware I've got available it has been very difficult for me to do a full buildtest for each change; that has for the most part changed now (thanks Simon!), but it still would be more convenient to have a special-commit-and-it-will-built-for-you system. It couldn't be the only system (as it sometimes is necessary to have things available immediately), but it would be a valueable addition. Eivind.
