BuildBot sounds like a better overall paradigm for initiating tests,
but according to the README:

* slaves can be behind a firewall if they can still do checkout

This would make it impossible for me to use.  I run the regression
tests on a firewalled Solaris machine (with Sun C++ 5.3 and g++ 3.4.3)
that has only HTTP GET/PUT and FTP access through a proxy server. 
Losing the Sun C++ tests is probably no big deal since 99% fail, but
the g++ results are more valuable.
