The tnaur PPC OSX head/stable 2 builders could certainly be set up like this, as far as I am concerned. If useful, you could be given direct access to the machine to run the validate script. Manually, at the outset, but not too inconvenient, I guess. Actual debugging would also be possible, I guess. > ...

Would it be useful if I tried to get hold of such a thing, intending to run it (and make it available) in the same manner as I do the tnaur PPC 2 machinery, including the above suggestions? The PPC Mac OS X's seem to be be on the way out, so something would have to be done about that anyway. > ...
