     big variation in Mac build times on same machine, not investigated, but
     likely master and 6-2 branch too diverged/causing ccache misses
      + normal builds that take 30 mins can randomly take 2 hrs
      + ccache changes ? - perhaps increase ccache directory, or have 2 dirs.
      + will look to see what’s up there.
   + tests that failed more than twice in last seven days:
      3 CppunitTest_sd_misc_tests
      3 UITest_impress_tests
      4 CppunitTest_sw_uwriter

      5 CppunitTest_sd_tiledrendering
      6 CppunitTest_sc_pdf_export
     32 UITest_writer_tests5   (most last Friday)
      + lots of these failing.
      + sorted out now (Miklos)
         + 2 roots
            + 1 fixed by Stephan – some Xwindow tests
            + another was unreliable - now disabled
