Ah cool.  I was confusing it with extensions and mis-remembering.

I modified the build.sh script to run the installed version.  As long
as some test references the new package, this should catch the
problem.  I sure hope we don't allow a new package without tests. :-)

I also modified the buildbot config to ignore changes if all the files
in a revision are under Demo, Doc, or Misc.  This change (if I got it
right and it works) should help reduce some builds that have little
benefit.
