We (OSDL + others) are working on a continuous build/test system, using the Mozilla tinderbox. Should be available RSN. Tinderbox supports multiple clients, and we'll have a client package available for download.
Marco, if you could supply time on a small client box, and a desired .config, we can add you as a Tinderbox client, then you have a place to point people when the size increases.
Either way, please send me your desired .config - i can and should build a size test into the tinderclient code.
