I've asked the buildbot master to run tests for Python 3.4
on the Mac now, and got another 64bit Linux machine
ready to run the tests.

Oddly the buildbot server has become quite sluggish,
perhaps we have too much old data and/or too many
build targets? Removing the older PyPy versions
from the matrix should help:
