give the the folks that run the crawlers an instrumented build, and strong

I run a system called Bughunter that scans a subset of the urls
submitted to the crash reports system in the attempt to reproduce the
crashes our users see. It runs on Windows 7, OSX 10.{6,8,9} and RHEL6.
If this were to land in Nightly and if it were to produce a fatal
assertion such as "Assertion failure:..." or "ABORT:..." or even a
non-fatal ASSERTION, it would automatically be recorded in our webapp [*].
I've also used these vms for other scanning purposes. For example, I
scanned the top 1 million sites from Alexa over a period in December
2014 - January 2015 and produced data and files for all Flash files
discovered for use by the Shumway folks.
So, this is something we could support with Bughunter or a subset of the
Bughunter vms. Hopefully this will not produce a large number of
Assertions, since I wouldn't want it to detract from our finding
security sensitive crashes.
I might need some help in producing these Frankenbuilds on all three
platforms.

[*] The urls tested come from our users via the Crash Reports system and
are privacy sensitive. The urls also frequently contain extreme NSFW
content and have in the past contained illegal content which may be
harmful to the viewer.
