A followup to my followup: Travis staff made changes based on our
feedback and now the interactive build timeout matches the normal
build, so it's possible to run in quiet mode and still get the full
timeout.

I know in past there's been frustration directed to the Travis CI
infrastructure when things fail, but full credit to them-- every time
one of us has asked something of them, they've been super receptive
and accommodating to our needs. Pretty damn decent service consider
how much we (don't) pay them!
