Isn't this what github pull requests + travis is supposed to give us? Of course, that currently only covers a rather small part (much less than the buildbot tests), but it's not that hard to expand that to at least a decent number of compile variations. That would give us useful smoke tests before looking at a single line of code. (May I remind the list of http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.network.openvpn.devel/10865, which got some comments from ciphitsine (see http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.network.openvpn.devel/11557/focus=11585), but was never really ACK'ed and applied.) -Steffan
