Is there any sort of build_ok/test_ok matrix for "$svn_rev x $platform"

Well this is exactly the sort of problem buildbot is supposed to handle:

  - someone sets up a central buildmaster which watches the SVN repo
    and sends out change notices to the appropriate build slaves
(maybe some slaves only get changes once a day, others get every commit, etc.)
  - many people set up build slaves, on different platforms
  - the buildmaster shows the results from all slaves on a web page,
    and perhaps also on an IRC channel, email list, etc.
