Probably not ideal for large browser builds like librefox, but -- now that
we have multiple virtual cpu support in vmm(4) -- you could run a vmm/vmd
VM for your -stable build environment. No additional hardware required.

The multiple vcpu support is new as of 8.0-release, so it wasn't really an
option previously. Seems like a great way to help stress-test that
important, new, vmm(4) functionality and provide feedback if you're able to
break it.

You can also do some run-testing, though sans hardware acceleration if you
configure an Xvfb(1) display and vnc:

I personally use x11vnc because it supports transitioning between xenodm
login window and the user's session (a necessity for my WM port
maintenance), but -- as Stuart pointed out at the time -- something like
tigervnc would be preferable and more performant.
