Another point is that passing on one platform doesn't ensure passing on
another. Here we really rely on the willingness of the pghackers
community to update to CVS tip regularly and run the regression tests
when they do. Again, tests that take a couple minutes to run are ideal;
if they took a week then the uptake would drop to zero, and we'd not be
ahead.
Have you considered something similar to the Mozilla tinderbox approach
where you have a daemon checkout the cvs, compile, run regression tests,
and report a status or be able to report a status?
