Thanks.

Yup.  Testing documentation is an interesting problem.

Thanks again.  Is there a way to manually kick them off?  Or get them to 
run an hour to 3 after a commit?

There seems to be a pattern of running standard and with-refclocks on 
various platforms.  What's the overhead of of a test?  Would it be 
appropriate to make a mini option tester to be run on each platform?
