Just builds. I don't expect a CI system to be a debugging system. To me
these are two very different things to do. The TravisCI setup for OSX
already proved itself very useful by finding build breaks on code
committed into master.

You fancy a full blown OSX system with remote VNC access for manually
compiling and debugging. That is fair and could be nice to have. Just
nothing on my list to work on. If you and Jonathan want to work on
setting this all up, just go ahead.
