I guess so.

Sounds good. May I suggest that all this be integrated into a single http server
instance ? In my specific case I'm the 'buildbot admin', but not the system
admin, and I don't want to request apache config changes from the system admin
just because I'm rearranging my status displays. A simple map from PATH_INFO
to Waterfall view would be very convenient.
