Now that that screen shooting feature is available, 
<https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Tinderbox#14> includes 
'make screenshot' in it's 'make check' phase.  (Locally hacked into the 
buildbot scripting for now.  It sometimes prints "make: Nothing to be 
done for ´screenshot´" but still apparently does run the relevant tests; 
go figure.)
