[PD] Continuous Integration for Externals

hardware for the project(s) that use it, right?
Yes.  I could install gitlab-runner on my rpi2, get the "token" 
from gitlab, and have it sit there waiting to build. In that case, 
however, I'd essentially be letting remote run arbitrary shell 
commands on the machine.

DIY, but still with a standardized API.
Seems most people are using the docker runner with gitlab ci. 
I'm not sure how that could possibly work for OSX/Windows builds, so I 
use virtualbox.
As for "clean slate", I guess that means different things.  I'm currently 
cloning VM snapshots with *.deb dependencies installed because it saves 
time.  Gitlab CI also allows you to save the previously cloned VM and use 
it for subsequent builds.  But I don't trust gitlab, virtual, or gnu make to get 
any of that right.
