There's the llvm-testresults list, but I find it less than fully useful
because it's not immediately obvious from scanning message subjects if
there's been a test failure.  It's a lot of messages to wade through and
read to get this information.

What about a Tinderbox-like setup where we could consult a web page to
see the current status of the repository?  Boost has a nice setup:

http://engineering.meta-comm.com/boost-regression/CVS-RC_1_34_0/developer/index_release.html

It's probably more complex than what we need.  Maybe we just need a
page grouping each test under it's suite and marking the result on
each architecture.  Something like this:

FAILs would of course be marked in something pleasant like flourescent
bright-magenta.

Just an idea.  Wow, I already wasted more of a Saturday on that than I
should have.  :-/
