coordinator test times out when building

[ghost]

I'm running Ubuntu 12.04 in a Vagrant box on VMWare Fusion on a MacBook Air (2012 model). I installed the 64-bit version of go 1.2 from Google's binaries as linked from the build page. make test failed as the coordinator test timed out after 10 minutes -- here's the output.

I ran make clean and then make test again, to see if anything would change, but I get similar results.

(This is a follow-on from #196, but that's really just pointing out a documentation bug while this is a problem with the build process.)

After carefully looking at the output of the test suite. It looks like it was making progress but probably a bit slow because you're running on a vm. I'll add a way to specify the test timeout in a sec.

You can specify the timeout like this make test timeout=30m. I know this is too long. it's on our todo list to speed up the test suite or at least move the slow tests with the integration tests. You can also run individual test suites by running make test packages=coordinator.

Let us know whether this work for you or not. Cheers.

Took about 27 minutes for that test, but yes, it did pass OK. Thanks for the help! I do have access to a faster machine, which I'll use for the full test suite occasionally, but this is my main work machine so it's good to know things will work in that environment if needed.
