Speaking of tinderboxes:

Is there any kind of QA tool that normal end users can contribute CPU
cycles to? Given the massive combinatorial explosion of package
configurations that can be installed using Gentoo, one might imagine that
there's some value in simply installing programs with different USE
combinations and running the self-tests for those programs.

What I don't want to do is anything manual. Be it filing bugs, or testing
things.

But I'd be happy to run some arbitrary QA tool in a virtual machine or
chroot nearly indefinitely.
