------------------------+-------------------
 Constructing a !BuildRequest involves a lot of database queries, and in
 most cases is unnecessary.  However, it is part of the specification of
 the {{{nextBuild}}} and {{{mergeRequest}}} configuration parameters, and
 is also used internally by the build-initiation code.

 Let's find a way to change both of these uses so that the class can simply
 disappear.  Fixing the build machinery is easy.  And we can probably add a
 wrapper or decorator that will make the old {{{nextBuild}}} and
 {{{mergeRequest}}} functions work with a new, !BuildRequest-free API, so
 users would only need to add the wrapper or decorator to their
 configuration when upgrading (albiet with a signficant performance
 penalty).
