testfarm lacks notification features which is a pitty. you have to
check the web every now and then.

a month ago or so i did an spike to add irc notifications but i got
stuck trying to understand the example code i found and the irc
protocol. sending mails is simpler, i know.
however there is some work to be done in testfarm server which now
is state-less. basically the server should know when it goes from a
green state to a red state (where green state means all clients are
green and red state means any client is red).
then it should also handle revisions (and CVS dates) but this is a
bit more work.

feel free to checkout and hack. i'll keep up with you.

do you know what would also be nice (daydreamming)? to have a
desktop applet with the testfarm state (and a list of last commits)
