Good idea--I agree this would be good to do where possible, as it
would not cost much, and help us identify issues.  The main focus of
current testing is to identify good starting points for new users, or
people just looking for a build-able snapshot, so clean builds are
where we started.  I'll add a note to the wiki to build incremental
builds first if possible.  Based on the feedback of people doing the
actual testing work, perhaps it will make sense to do something else
in the future.

Thanks,
Cliff
