So, if I get this right, the proposal is to have 7 animals:


1) all branches/locales, frequent builds (every few hours) magpie  - gcc fulmar  - icc treepie - clang

2) single branch/locale, CLOBBER, built once a week magpie2 - gcc fulmar2 - icc treepie - clang

3) single branch/locale, recursive CLOBBER, built once a month


I don't particularly mind the number of animals, although I was shooting
for lower number.

The only question is - should we use 3 animals for the recursive CLOBBER
too? I mean, one for each compiler?
