Its probably possible to get most providers to compile on travis using linux
os, but running fabtests for all providers is probably not possible owing
to specialized
hardware needs, etc.  For the later one needs something like jenkins, hence
the
cisco approach.  We also use jenkins for smoke test of PRs in the downstream
GNI provider fork.

Could we add a travis discussion to the next telecon?
