I think it would be *really* useful to have tinderbox. mozilla.org use
it a lot and with very good results afaict. jhbuild has some support for
it, so it should not be particularly difficult to setup.

A couple of thoughts about it:

* I think it should only cover the sugar platform, not his dependencies
since we don't have a lot of controls on them and base should be built
only occasionally anyway. (i.e. we should cover sugar-jhbuild build
only)

* I think we need a way to notify people that broke the build and this
needs to be automatic.(by email, irc, whatever).
