There is a buildbot, and it does something pretty similar.   It used to
do exactly that (without the rm -rf part), but checking out Zope 3 used
to break it every now and then (subversion sucks), and now it treats
Zope 3 as a special case.

I suppose it would be a good idea to rm -rf buildbot's sandbox at least
once a night.  I think buildbot has an option for that somewhere.

I'm not currently working on schooltool, and I have about zero
experience with eggs, so I'm afraid I cannot do that.  I have set up the
buildbot for schooltool some time in the past, and I still have access
to the server, so I suppose I could create a nightly test case like you
suggested above.  Brian, do you have any comments/objections?

Cheers,
