I'd say the time's ripe for it.  :-)

Yeah, I've been playing with various bits, and in fact was just playing
with rendercheck about an hour ago.  'rendertest' is part of Cairo, but
I think I must have typoed it in the list above - 'rendercheck' is the
thing we want.  It pops up a little window that flashes colors for a
while, and prints out stuff like this:

I don't know how to interpret those results, though, and suspect that
like usual the value is in the analysis here...

rendercheck took a few minutes to run.  Unless there's a way to boil
down the above data into a yea/nay type value I don't think they're
useful as pre-checkin requirements.

rendercheck is easy to fire up - there's no supported args.  The output
I'm not certain about though.
