That's great, thanks for volunteering. Automatic regression testing 
sounds like a good starting point, feel free to start on it as you find 
fit and post your progress. You may want to get familiar with the build 
and test processes of dmd and phobos if you aren't.

In terms of machines, if anyone could volunteer ssh accounts to stable 
machines (e.g. preferably not laptops and not connected via dynamic IP, 
though the latter is satisfactorily fixed by dyndns.org), please chime in!
