Note that both of these things could be optional changes to the nightly 
test script and have been requested in the past.  In particular, though 
the first one would require a lot more build time, it would be quite 
useful for some people.

If anyone has the perl skills and the inclination to hack on the nightly 
tester script, it would be a cool enhancement...
