Those are good ideas.

The test after making the distributable tar-ball and zip file is
on the manual script [*], but having this done routinely would
catch things upfront. Do you think is would be fairly trivial to
do this with one or more of the Linux build targets?

Likewise epydoc... could that be a special build target which
just runs the epydoc test not run_tests.py?
