Ya, that's what I've got mostly working on my machine.  Any open Jira's for 
this work?  If not, I'll open one.

Not sure that's necessary.  I think if we change the patch testing model a 
little, we can keep the current workflow.  Also, given some recent advances in 
Hudson, I think we can reduce all the patch jobs down to 1 admin job covering 
*all* projects and 1 job per project -- and we should be able to drastically 
improve utilization of the slaves we have.  Let's move this discussion to a 
ticket.  LMK if I need to open one.

Cheers,
Nige
