Sounds like exactly what we need to get some acceptance tests in for
release testing. Is there a standard Puppet module used for the virtual
machine spinup (i.e. does it use libxl, or xm, or something else
for Xen?).  Should be able to set this up on one of our Bytemark
hosted machines in order to be triggered from a GitHub push.
