Hm. Looks like the reason this is broken is because the tests are written in a way that only works on OS X, see the fake configure script here: https://github.com/JuliaLang/BinDeps.jl/blob/master/test/testscripts/simplebuild/liba/configure

Guessing, but something related to the output redirection mechanism that travis uses for logging maybe?
the command-line `gist` utility (from either `apt-get` or `gem`, if it's not installed by default) is really useful for this kind of thing
I fear the way these tests are currently written may prove to be more a test of the reliability of Morsel than of BinDeps...
I like the sound of using a dedicated test package. We'd have to `Pkg.clone; Pkg.build` it unless we feel like registering it (don't think that's worth it though).
So I think the reason `@load_dependencies` is effectively deprecated is to avoid a runtime dependency on BinDeps. With package precompilation the load-time cost of that may be low enough to...
It is generally nicer to check for the existence of deps.jl first to give a more specific error message if it wasn't created yet. Maybe the load_dependencies stuff would handle...
What sha of BinDeps are the two machines on? Any different behavior if you do `Pkg.free("BinDeps")` ? May be related to the recent change from #153
Just double-checking, same sha on both machines, 14.04 works, 15.04 doesn't, all else identical?
