|Matz, maybe you could give a little guidance on what you want tested:
|* the build process
|* the ruby interpreter after the build is complete
|* ...?

Yeah, right.  I want you guys to check:

  * whether it compiles or not on any platforms (especially "rare"
    ones, like linux-ia64, linux-ppc, etc.)

  * whether it runs on those platforms (e.g. make test)

  * whether your "important" program runs or not.  but you only need
    to check once for 1.8 series, not every previews.

Thank you, everyone.
