I think current infrastructures is not good for it. For example I would like to
compile postgres on one machine with three different compiler and in 32 or 64
mode. Should I have 6 animals? I think better idea is to have one animal and
several test sets. Animals defines HW+OS version and test set specify PG
version, configure switches, compiler and so on.

these are my two cents
