It would be nice to dummy email account subscribed to the commit messages that it could poll to trigger the checkout, build, test cycle.
To make a Continuous Integration Service around it it should run as a background process under another user out of init in a Xnest/VNC session. I am thinking something like a winecis user which would run these scripts, fetch and the Xnest session as a service we could call winecis.
I did something similar recently for a stupid java service that had to have an interactive gui.
Thinking about it a bit more, I guess the email thing is kind of redundant since git can poll more often. I guess it really depends on how many build agents you want to have hanging out hammering git. To you want them to hammer git or hammer your mail server?
