        And require empathy + telepathy of a certain version to be installed on
the tinderbox machine (and each builder's machine?), and presumably a
jabber server setup and running and ...

        IMHO it would be better to write unit tests to test the protocol
fragments we get out of the calc core, and ensure that these continue to
work nicely :-) "run a stream of commands" "save document" "diff output"
etc.

        I love unit tests more than most, but - there are some limits to the
harnesses people can easily construct out there.

        Of course - if we had a small / fall-back TCP / local socket version we
could do some testing via that but ... it's not really going to test
much more than the above is it ?

        ATB,

                Michael.
