 Version:  0.8.0        |    Keywords:  virtualization

 If Buildbot could send the following to a slave, then we would only need
 one AMI to support an unlimited number of buildslaves for a particular
 project:
  * botname
  * password (randomly generated?)
  * master host:port

 Let's add this ability, and then add an AMI startup script that will read
 this information and start the slave, and stick it in contrib.  Then we
 can build a "sample" AMI based on Fedora 8 and use it in Buildbot demos.
 Sounds cool, eh?
