------------------------+---------------------------------------------------
 For buildslave roots that are on an NFS or otherwise shared filesystem, it
 can be difficult to tell which node is running the slave represented by
 {{{twistd.pid}}}.

 For cases like this, a simple write to a {{{twistd.hostname}}} file at
 startup would probably make things easier.  Since the file would not grow
 unboundedly, I don't think this would cause problems for other users.
