I think you should be able to ssh to buildbot on debian-stable-i386,
ubuntu-lts-i386 (128.238.56.55) and ubuntu-current-i386 (128.238.56.53)
so you could make those yourself.  We need to figure out how to install
buildbot on Mac OS X and Windows/Cygwin.  Both are supposed to include
buildbot, fink has version 0.8.0, will that work?  I think in order to
get the Cygwin one, I need to upgrade Cygwin entirely, which will also
need to wait until after the Pd-extended release.
