Designing something like that would be more than interesting. We'd need 
two or more co-operating animals, a concept that's currently quite 
foreign to the buildfarm. I'm not saying it can't be done, but it would 
be a substantial piece of work. Probably the place to start would be the 
save-bin feature discussed elsewhere for things like cross-version 
pg_dump/pg_restore checking. We already do that for cross-version 
pg_upgrade testing, so it would need to be generalized.
