That's very interesting.  Would running salmonella on that farm be
possible?  I'm asking because salmonella is pretty heavy weight in terms
or processor/memory usage.

I intend to add an option to salmonella to make it more light weight.
The plan is to avoid setting the test local repository empty after
installing eggs.  It means it won't build the same egg multiple times.
By using this option, salmonella won't be able to catch dependencies
problems, but would still compile and test each egg at least once.  We
can still keep the dependencies check on one salmonella instance, though
(e.g., at call-cc.org, as it is now).

Best wishes.
Mario
