Yeah, that's not a horrible idea... We still need some sort of sanity
or CI test, but it would likely be much simpler. Like just include
{project}.{log,sum} files for gdb and systemtap (and ...) and run
those as tests.

I saw, thanks!

So the question I have is: if I want to progress my goals w/bunsen, what
should I be doing now to help out, if anything, and where should I be
doing it (bunsenql, master)?
