Comment (by vlovich):

 A simple approach might be the original run.sh idea, except the buildslave
 will export an environment variable BUILDSLAVE_PIPE with an fd that it had
 opened before spawning the step.  BUILDSLAVE_PIPE is a simple-line
 oriented protocol where run.sh can write things like

 new_step="My Custom build step"
 log_file=<some path>
 step_started="Step name"
 step_finished=OK (or failed)

 Another alternative is for the buildslave to create a directory & export
 the path to it in BUILDSLAVE_STEPS or something like that.  The script
 could then create log files there <some description>.log, <some
 description>.started, <some description>.finished.
