We've talked in the past about allowing the list of Steps to be mutable
during a build. If I recall correctly, there were one or two minor problems
preventing us from doing that (I think it was a status-delivery issue, or
maybe we just needed to write a Build.insertStep(index, step) method).

Would that work? Basically the first step would run 'jhbuild list', then
create a bunch of other steps and do self.build.insertStep() on each one,
then let them run normally. ETA calculation would be all screwed up, but
beyond that I can't think of any major problems.
