Create nighlty testing server about mdsp HOT 12 OPEN

The first version of bightly testing routine is deployed on 'maria' Ubuntu 
server. It is cron'ned to be run twice a week.

The details are going to be committed to SVN.

Brought up two virtual servers (in QEMU) with Ubuntu 10.04 with x86_64 and 
x86_32 architectures, set up the required programs, redirected ports for SSH 
access. 

The next steps are:
 # Set up mdsp_test_suite.sh
 # Add twice-a-week schedule to /etc/crontab
 # Create accounts for student access.
 # Set up auto-update of the suite script
 # Test that everything works.

Brought up two VMs, set up testing on these hosts. They are a bit slow but 
function all right.

Two virtual machines are observed to report with mail several times per week.

Imporvement plans:
 # Add possibility to self-update the test script from SVN
 # Add command line arguments to test a particular branch, not the HEAD (to allow students to test their improvements before merging)
 # Make Qemu-script to be FreeBSD services so they are started automtically at every boot.
 # Add a cron job to clean up old SVN working copies from VM hard disk to save space.

Testing of branches is added. 

Working on a tool for self-updating the script.

I also will need to extend the set of tests as  issue is resolved and we can 
test funcsim on simple_test.bin . 

Managed to get the MS VS build and email sending. The Windows testing will be 
less thorough than one for Linux, I guess, because it's harder to write scripts 
for this OS for me. But anyway, I guess Windows targets will get much more of 
manual testing by our project members anyway.

After the final preparations are over the OS image will be deployed on server 
and turned on for sheduled testing.

Having troubles with porting VM disk image from Virtualbox to Qemu. Stupid 
Windows does not have drivers. Though this is fixable.

Seems that Windows cannot be ported from Vbox to Qemu - it losts the disk it is 
installed on! Then I'll bring it up on VirtualBox.

Started VirtualBox headless with Windows XP in it. Redirected port tcp:3389 so 
that the guest can be accessed through RDP. So wo-hoo, Windows regular testing 
is on its way.

The things left to do:
auto-updater
auto-cleaner
startup scripts (2/3 done)
document all of this stuff in our wiki

Implemented auto-updater and auto-cleaner of regular test system both for 
Windows and Linux test bots. Implemented also all the required startup/shutdown 
scripts for bringing up/down VMs at host's boot/shutdown time. Though Windows 
has some problems with it, as usual.

Now I need to test the testing framework. And then - support it :-).

All regular testing VMs are transferred to Ilab host helena.ilab.mipt.ru. Works 
fine.

Test bots are still there (at helena.ilab.mipt.ru) but turned off. Someone has 
to take the effort to maintain them.
