You need to remember the point of the TestBot: it is to automate testing 
of the patches so Alexandre can save time by not having to deal with 
patches that are wrong.

That means:
* Verifying the patch applies using the same parameters (fuzzy) that 
  Alexandre uses.
* Verifying that the patch compiles the way Alexandre wants.
* Verifying that the patch does not introduce new failures.

If any of these applies different criteria from what Alexandre does then 
it means he has to manually duplicate the work of the TestBot.
