This is the sort of thing Hudson helps with. As you probably already know, it 
lives here: http://hudson-ci.org/  We also use STAF 
(http://staf.sourceforge.net/) as part of the solution. But it is all pretty 
much only the host os that gets all the testing. This is what we want to 
extend.

Although speed is always good, it is more important that we can gaurantee that 
as many tests as possible on as many supported plaftorms as possible are run. 
I won't go in to the automated GUI testing desires that have been made. We are 
saving that fun for 'later'.
