 Having the build logic for a project live statically in a separate
 location from the project itself is problematic.  If the project build
 steps change, then the buildbot script needs to be changed + all branches
 updated before they are re-built.  We have a CI system where each branch
 is tested before being merged into master.  Since build changes would
 happen on a separate branch, there's no way to review it without stopping
 the world so we can update the buildbot script.

 The workaround would be to just have buildbot call a single run.sh script
 that lives in the project, but that suffers from then hiding the
 individual steps that go into a build from buildbot.

 There needs to be a way for each particular build to be queried for the
 steps for that particular build.
