Well, for the really lazy developers, all they need to do now is:

git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/fs/ext2/xfstests-bld.git
cd xfstests-bld/kvm-xfstests
make install

:-)

This will download the root_fs.img from www.kernel.org, and install
kvm-xfstests into their home directory.

(Or they can substite the last command with: "sudo make
prefix=/usr/local install")

This should work for both Fedora and Debian systems.  There will be
some packages you will need to install (e.g., kvm) but I suspect many
people will have all of the prequisites installed already.
