https://github.com/perlbot/perlblead-ci/blob/master/bin/start-build is the
main script for starting everything.  It's got a lot of hard coded paths
involved, so it might need some changes to make it work properly on another
system.

It runs daily at 7am EST5EDT (USA Eastern time).  This weekend I'll get it
setup to toss the last 10 build logs up somewhere to be available, and try
to segment them all by the phase (build perl, install cpan modules, and
test against random code given to the eval bot on irc).
