It shouldn't be that hard, though.  I haven't had any one of them set up
in a while, but if I'll find some time somewhere I'll try to look into
that.  The integration with avocado-vt is the only benefit I could've
thought of.  It would be great if we could expand the testing by fixing
that test suite and integrating it into existing CI.
