Thanks, Axel - I've already made the necessary changes to Buildbot's
code to pass the scheduler down to the process.base.Build so I can
setProperty("scheduler", self.scheduler.name).

I'll file this as a feature request on Buildbot Trac and upload the
patch.  Hopefully someone will review it and consider including it.
(I hate maintaining forks of OSS projects.)
