Awesome news!

Can we get it integrated with the test suite? :)

This is good work. :)

I'm not trying criticize, nitpick or start a war, but as a suggestion  
it -might- be better to use kvm (or xen) in this instance, since you  
can take advantage of the speed paravirtualization can offer you on  
some of the x86 platforms. I may incorrectly be assuming you are using  
linux as the host os thus not a huge jump.

I have had pretty good luck with kvm/qemu compiling and testing with  
linux 32/64, solaris x86 32/64, arm/32 and running windows XP/32 (esp  
with the network drivers from www.linux-kvm.com) with Fedora on  
32/64-bit hardware(on 32-bit hardware the 64 bit os's predictably are  
just slow.) I have also had pretty good success moving the images from  
32 to 64 bit hardware and back. I haven't tried the sparc support yet.

You can throw this suggestion out the window if you are using windows  
as the host os. :) (If you can get it to run (I have never tried.),  
you aren't going to gain anything.)
