[webkit-dev] Commit Queue Outage

[Eric Seidel]

The model we're working towards would involve running tests on some
sub-set of platforms (certainly mac!) before landing.  This would
involve making the EWSes run tests and making the commit-queue
dependent on their output.

This is all in a very experimental stage at the moment.
