This is already done with those three platforms on a nightly basis, but bat is 
not built by default in the regression testing, and there is no real reason 
to do so.  

The problem with turning on bat building is that it is non-trivial because of 
the evolution of Qt, and we will need to live with it for another couple of 
years.
