I think that would be helpful. We seem to have most Linux variants
pretty well covered. I now have a daily pull/build/test running on a
FreeBSD 6.1 box. I am going to try to get a Solaris one going, too, but
I have to first actually get the test scripts to pass _once_. :)

AIX would be nice, since it seems easy to break. ;) OS X would be nice,
too, though I suspect there are a few developers (Shawn?) who end up
running the test scripts occasionally anyway.

I am just calling the script below through cron, and it dumps a bunch of
output if any test fails (at which point I go investigate manually). The
only argument is the path to a git repo.
