Once slave machines have received their copy of the build, they grab the ID of a few unallocated tests from the database, and run those tests locally, updating the database with the results. Test results are visible at any time using a web interface, which also makes it easy to ask a particular machine to drop out of the build once it has finished running it's current batch of tests. Once all test records are marked as either pass or fail, we know the build is comple...

It is no longer necessary to use --with-suffix when building on a cas...
