So - one advantage of a VM here, is that -if- we have a 'standard'

more generally useful.
Another general advantage of doing tinderbox builds in a VM would be
that each build can start from a known-good VM snapshot and a runaway
build can be stopped cleanly. So problems like steadily filling up tmp
or leftover processes after a hung test would become non-issues. (Not
that they do plague us, though; just for the record.)
