Comment (by philippem):

 I can give that a shot, it's probably easier than trying to fold this
 change into twisted.

 question:

 - does this code always execute in the context of the build slave?
 - can i just call os.system(...) instead of using the signal through
 twisted?
 - what is the proper test for the platform?

 thanks
