Ideally, this should be handled by `mx gate' itself, i.e. downloading 
the simulator from the right place and execute it appropriately.

Please keep in mind it should be a reasonable addition, meaning we 
probably won't accept a 10GB dependency or that the HSAIL tests take 
another hour in the gate :-)
