Instruction on how to replicate our build system would be nice. It would
not be that hard to write, just :
- install X vm
- make them communicate for network, using proper name 
- install proper dns resolution 
- do a svn checkout in /etc/puppet
- set up puppet ( some package to install, 3*X commands to type )
- enjoy

Having a working out of the box package of iurt would be a killer
feature. Fedora does offer mock for that, and that's quite handy.
