Yes, this is a great idea, and something I have already looked at a little bit.
Two things we need: a good local bisection client, and some place to store the
artifacts that is high bandwidth and available (I don’t think it is a good idea
to host them from the lab itself).  The compilers are 60mb-90mb each.
