I think this is a wise course.


The cfbot and the vanilla buildfarm can't test some things easily, and
this might be such a case. That's where custom buildfarm modules can
prove useful. For example, we have one that is used by rhinoceros to run
the SEPgsql tests. ISTM this might well be another case. I can work with
you to develop such a module.
