I've been interested in setting up an automatic build test environment
for Emacs for some time. It would basically checkout the emacs sources
on every checkin, build the sources and report the build
quality(probably with some existing continuous integration software).

I would also store a TB or something of past builds.

Would that be of any help to you?
