I suppose it would follow previous patterns to have the builder
interface have a method "schedulerFired" or somesuch which is passed
any scheduler that runs, and then the builder decides itself whether
to run or not.

The default implementation of that method may just check whether that
builder's name is in the scheduler's list.

Or you could do it by iterating over all the builders and add to each
scheduler the builders who listed that scheduler's name - then you
have to add a method to the scheduler interface 'addBuilder' or
something.

Well, you've probably thought of these anyway...
