OK - just set one up and trying a test build.

My other current concern is to wonder whether lots of people trying to get 
patchy running might not collide with each other.  As I understand it, the 
key patchy function is to pull patches from staging, run make and make test, 
and check the regtest output.  If this is OK it sends a message saying 
"LGTM".  Is this correct?  Does it actually do any of the merging of patches 
from staging into master?  I wouldn't want to do that without knowing I was 
doing it... (although my new user would presumably fail anyway, since I've 
not yet set it up for push access).
