Now that we have an Arrow homebrew formula again and we may want to have it as a simple setup for R Arrow users, we should add a nightly crossbow task that checks whether this still builds fine.
To implement this, one should write a new travis.yml like https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/dev/tasks/python-wheels/travis.osx.yml that calls brew install apache-arrow --HEAD. This task should then be added to https://github.com/apache/arrow/blob/master/dev/tasks/tests.yml so that it is executed as part of the nightly chain.
