Does anyone know if this patch will be part of the next version of
buildbot?

Michael, 

Paul Gain submitted a patch to this mailing list on 15/11/2006 against
the then current buildbot repository that I have used which would allow
a custom properties section to be specified in the master.cfg file to
accomplish such a task.

These custom properties would then be displayed in the FORCE BUILD page
for each builder and would pass through the values to all builders as
properties permitting you to use calls such as
'self.getProperty('check_box')' in a custom buildstep to get the value.

Hope this helps.
