A way to throw requests at various parts of the web site in order

After see a smoke report from Nicolas Clark using ccache, I took a look
at ccache web site. And find http://build.samba.org.

Yes even if I take some report on p5p because:
1/ daily-build is the best place to find report for daily-build no ? ;-)
