OK. I've switched the three original animals (magpie, fulmar, treepie)
back to the original configuration (no clobber, all branches, multiple
locales).

And I've requested 6 more animals - two for each compiler. One set for
tests with basic CLOBBER, one set for recursive CLOBBER.

Each group will run in a separate VM, in a round-robin manner.
