For an operating system it isn't enough only to check if the sources 
compile. You would like to know if all the tools which are close to the 
hardware work properly. Or you would like to know if the machine can 
boot. All this issues aren't addressed by tinderbox.

Indeed you could have suites with tests for tools as the c compiler, awk 
and so on and so on.

But if are interested in seeting up such a beast (tinderbox) for freebsd 
then drop me a line. I would like to take part in this.

Bye

Oliver
