I only identify that a build breaks because of the variability of the
HEAD being buildable I cannot determine whether this is a valid problem
hence the email.  I started raising bug reports and this wasted
resources, this was a suggested compromise with RE.

The alternative is for RE to constantly monitor http://ooo.ximian.com
tinderbox on HEAD to ensure that they have indeed picked up the problems
and notify the builder when they see problems that RE is not going to
address.  I would be happier with this suggestion as it reduces the
perception of 'constantly broken because of the emails' which is what a
tinderbox is supposed to do.

Finally I have built with an available option for configure that RE does
not test therefore my tinderbox is ensuring that OOo builds for everyone
not just the standard cases.  I am pleased we have picked up a bug as a
result, my time is well spent stopping someone else have this problem.
