 For the CEDET project, I wanted to embed the current build status on the
 project's web page, which is hosted on another webserver than the
 buildbot. I had to use an ugly kludge using multiple iframes, each of the
 form

 {{{
 <iframe
 src="http://mybuildbotserver/buildstatus?builder=buildername&number=-1"
 width="190" height="400" frameborder=0>
 }}}

 (BTW, I figured out through trial&error that '-1' will give me the latest
 build; if this is the desired behavior, this should be documented).

 You can see the result here:

 It would be great if buildbot could serve such a page without that much
 hassle. Ideally, it would serve an image, so that no iframe would be
 necesseary, but that might be too complicated to do?
