So, the problem I hit above was just that it was taking time to
download all the image data - without V=1, it wasn't showing progress
so it looked like it wasn't doing anything.

With that done, I get further, but it's still a bit of a pain in the
arse.  If I run as a normal user things fail, because the sudo
authorization runs out before a test is complete.  If I run as root it
screws up permissions on my git tree so I have to re-chown before
operating as a normal user again.  And testing the full set of images
takes an age - I've been running this all day, and AFAICT it's barely
through half the available images.  If I'm testing for multiple days
it means what I'm finally sending a pullreq for is no longer against
the latest master, which I don't really like.

Any ideas to make this less painful?
