I saw some notes on the #hurd irc channel on freenode that you've been
writing a tiny program to test this functionality.  Would things like
that be worth for being added to GNU Mach's test suite?  Of course the
problem is that you first have to reboot to the freshly built kernel in
order to be able to test it, but it might nevertheless be useful to boot
the newly built kernel and then return to the build directory and run
`make check-SOMETHING' or similar.  What are other's thoughts?
