Comment (by dustin):

 My thought for this is as follows:

 The config provider runs an HTTP service which, given a Python module
 path, returns Python source.

 The masters have a stubbed-out configuration file which installs an import
 hook that can talk to the config provider, then imports some canonical
 name (e.g., `import remote_buildbot_config`).

 This way, all of the Python source used in the (re)load come from the same
 source directory.  And best of all, the client side can be accomplished
 without changes to Buildbot.
