The verbose-tests issue should be solved now.

I agree that it would be nice if more people would test it, however I don't
think there should be any compiler crashes anymore. In any case, even if
there would still be compiler crashes, users could just not enable the --gdb
flag (or --pyrex-gdb to build_ext in case setup.py is used).

But I agree that it should be tested more widely before merging it. The
documentation (currently only on hudson but I presume it will make it to
docs.cython.org with the new release) already contains a link to my git
branch so users that are interested could still use it.
