I think when properly set up most checks will rarely fail... It's not
for one failure every 20 runs or so... Having more runs would also help
noticing false-alarms so ideally all hosts that can run
autoconf/automake should build from svn (soon Git).

Feel free to poke around my solaris server for NPTest variables
(/var/tmp/NPTest.cache) and my tindebox script
(~dermoth/bin/nagiosplug_tinderbox.sh).

One thing I'd like is having libtap build directly from Nagiosplug. On
solaris I had to gnulib'ize it to get all required functions. That would
greatly help for C tests and this the place to emphasize in the future...

Does Nagios have tests yet? (I never noticed).
