i've just triked it out: it doesn't seem to work.
there are two html.py files by the way, one in

buildbot/status/

and one in

buildbot/build/lib/buildbot/status/



it does not have any effect, no matter which one i change: html log 
still ends up in the twistd.log of the buildmaster.
in order to find out which html.py is used, i put in a syntax error on 
purpose .... still no effekt, also no error trace ... strange ...
