Sorry for not being super clear. This is what I'm trying to do:

I would like to build our project (mesos) under different build
environments (e.g., automake version x.y.z, gcc version a.b.c). Or maybe
even something as simple as do the build on the last 3 versions of
ubuntu/fedora/centos/osx.  Ideally this would be CI jobs to vet every new
commit.

I was wondering if I could leverage Apache Jenkins to do this. I imagine we
could do this if Jenkins is configured with virtualization plugins
(libvirt, virtualbox, vagrant etc). Is this supported?

Also, I'm interested to know how other apache projects that need to support
multiple platforms deal with this problem?
