If you want to do it, by all means go for it. I'm sure it would give
everyone a fuzzy feeling to see the green lights everywhere. But
realistically, don't expect any significant practical benefits, such
cutting beta time by 10%.
The Samba build daemon suite is pretty good. We have a couple of those
hosts in our office in fact. (I think they're building PostgreSQL
regularly as well.) A tip: You might find that adopting the source code
of the Samba suite to PostgreSQL is harder than writing a new one.
