The build bot's purpose is also to run tests.  In the case where the
build is trivial, the tests become the primary attraction.

It has been my theory that we will have more automatic tests as soon
as people write the first 2 (or 10) to show how it's done.

I'd suggest the first step is to use nose
(http://code.google.com/p/python-nose/) to discover and run all the
doctests for all components.
