I agree. There's another CI server called Travis. It's for open source 
projects and they'll host/run the test for you. This makes it very easy 
to get started with. They use git hooks to trigger builds/tests. 
Although you can use any language I plan to add support for D out of the 
box.

BTW, we do have a custom built CI server running the test suite on DMD, 
druntime and Phobos + all pull request for these projects.
