So, now that we have a automated validation server thanks to Erik, and all
tests are passing, someone is going to be the first one to break some
tests and have to revert out their changes.

One way to reduce the chance it will be you is to try out your changes on
the Mustella Patch Testing Server that I have running on a spare computer
in my garage before you push your changes.  It currently only knows how to
test the main SDK: it doesn't run mobile or AIR tests.

To use it, create a .patch file with your proposed changes, attach it to
an email and send it to mustellarun...@gmail.com.  In theory it will send
you an ack that it has received your patch and later send you a list of
failures or a list of tests that passed.  It tries to run only the tests
that are affected by the set of files that changed, not the whole suite.
I'm sure it has bugs so email me if you've sent it something and it hasn't
responded.

The nice thing about the patch testing server is that you don't have to
revert out your changes if there are failures: the server cleans up after
every run.  And it only notified you and not the commits@ list if there
are failures.

These two servers should help us keep the code base in working order, but
remember, the only true "authority" is Erik's server since it runs all
tests on what is actually in the code base.
