Well, to run it you just run a buildfarm animal, possibly not even
registered, with the module enabled. The module is actually in every
buildfarm release, and has been for some time, but it's not enabled.
Right now even if it runs it doesn't report anything to the server, it
just outputs success/failure lines to stdout.
