To expand on this a bit, I focused on getting the use-case with a local idp 
up and running.  This is now mostly working but apache needs a reboot along 
the way in a few different places that the code isn't properly handling right 
now (it works fine for the TestShib usecase but not when there is a local ajp 
connector).  There are things like this that keep cropping up.  Here is a 
list of untested or known problematic areas off the top of my head:

* adhoc federation -- should be retested; known to be broken last time I 
checked but that may have just been the larger "no hostname" issue where the 
setup cannot go through any of the scenarios properly if there isn't a 
hostname associated with the VM in the DNS.
* InCommon -- untested; assumed broken since the code seems to rely on 
knowledge of a wayf to properly configure the SP and wayf information is not 
in the federations.ini file it relies upon.
* Drupal -- known to be broken.  When one goes into the collabmin interface 
and installs the co-drupal6 package, they would then go to /install/drupal6 
which is supposed to finish the drupal installation but fails.  However, when 
carrying out the instructions by hand, drupal does seem to work.
* Sympa -- same as above.  Running the installer by hand untested.
* Confluence -- known to be missing steps.

So, here is the immediate plan of attack to get us out of this quagmire:

* [Digant] focus heavily on smoothing out the local idp use-case and then get 
the adhoc federation use-case working.
* [Chris] Chris has agreed to assist with Confluence.  I'm hoping he'll be 
able to use the working TestShib usecase to write the remaining code to get 
the Confluence install working.
* [Jon Robertson] As above, use the TestShib use-case and writes patches to 
the code to get Drupal and Sympa finished
