Thanks a lot, I'm looking forward to that :-)

It receives a build from the jenkins master (http://jenkins.ceph.dachary.org/) via ssh (possibly with a tunnel if behind a NAT), clone http://github.com/ceph/ceph, execute the run-make-check.sh script that is found at the root of the repository and reports failure / success back to the jenkins master.

This also helps the reviewer who knows the code compiles and does not break anything that would be detected by "make check".
