Ok, thanks for looking into that. It might be useful just as one more
automated build test case, but ultimately probably not what we really
want for builds on OS X, since it would depend on the rest of the Nix
package system, which sounds like yet another different environment
from stock OS X or macports or homebrew or ...

Brad, Carlo, is the main intent to produce build logs and bug reports,
or to produce an end-user-installable app/dmg/whatever? It would be
good to define up front what the goal of this CI system will be.
