That would certainly be something very valuable but it would
need a tremendous amount of work and would have to be
done by a different person than the original coder (or else
you could not catch misunderstandings of the instruction
descriptions for instance).

I would also like to point out that non ia32/x86_64 targets
tests were not covered by the discussion.  This probably
represents a small percentage of qemu usage, but it
definitely needs some kind of automated testing too.
