Comment:

 Oh, I forgot that this is a value only really known on the slave.  I'd
 rather not add another method to the slaves - I want to make slaves
 progressively simpler as we head into the 0.8.x releases.

 Instead of patching buildbot, you could do this with a SetProperty step.
 For UNIX:
 {{{
      f.addStep(SetProperty(command="pwd", property="absbuilddir"))
 }}}
 I'm sure a similar construct would work for Windows.
