Not sure how you'd feel about a donation box, but I could at least
donate a simple bare bones setup for development, something like a
Celeron D, 512MB Ram, 250GB SATA HD on a mATX board.  Don't have any
cases or really any 'more' frilly systems to add, but maybe someone
else can throw a case and a tuner card in to call it good.

Another option you may want to try is running a chroot for a -dev
backend on your existing backend machine.  Then when you need to test
the features, flop over (reboot, or chroot into) and run the trunk
backend.  Would require a bit more maintenence than just running
0.20-fixes or just trunk, but would at least keep the stability on the
20-fixes backend.
