Unfortunately I do not have the knowledge to do any of those things, but I hope someone with the required knowledge will help to get something like this set up. ECL is a tremendously valuable component to get Sage's calculus functionality (limits and integration) up to par via maxima and this would be a great chance for the sage community to give something back to ECL. It would also mean that the main ECL developer could be made aware of changes in ECL that affect its use with Sage, easing our upgrades of ECL. I'm willing to do some work on this, but as I said, I don't know anything about Sage's buildbots.
