Perhaps we can solve it after the fact by running auto-builders and
asking people to fix any regressions they inadvertently introduce.
Or maybe we could try to have some kind of multi-machine patch testing
queue.
I would like to avoid having a lot of individual overhead on each
patch; many patches will be architecture-neutral. So, automation at
some point in the process is important.
