Dear jwe, 

Simone Deparis has a set up a Mac for this purpose at the EPFL in Lausanne.
I am already doing a manual "buildbot" on that machine, i.e., I compile
octave from hg once a week. This can surely be automatised. 

Might it be a good idea to also compile a packages from time to time? This
would make sure that the interface is not broken.

Bye
Sebastian
