Hopefully someone else has time to address the workdir issue, but
basically, any time you have only a "cd some/dir" command in a step,
it is a no-op.

Each ShellCommand is executed in its own sub-shell, and the "cd" only
affects that shell instance.

If you pass a string to ShellCommand instead of a list, and include
some commands after the "cd", that might get you closer to what you
want, but aside from that, each new step after e.g. source.SVN
defaults to $slavedir/build.
