Sorry for the (extreme) delay in responding Paul, you caught me when I was
on vacation and then I got sick upon coming back. To answer your questions:

1) I've been building from source each time, not relying on any packages

2) Yes, we've got a labs environment setup with this. If anyone who's got
a labs account wants access, let me know and I'm more than willing to
add them. The instance name I've been testing on is called hhvm-mw, but
we can spin up as many others we want.
