It would be really great to have someone setup buildbots for other
important/large python projects to test python svn HEAD with.  I can't
even stay on top of the python buildbots, so I'm not volunteering for
more work.  I will greatly appreciate and thank whoever takes this on
though.  :-)

The harder problem is keeping it running.  Setting it up, in some ways
is a lot easier.  It's at least well defined.  Maintaining it for
several months is a different story.
