You can stop a whole build, but in 0.7.6, this requires a patch to
re-enable this feature:

http://buildbot.net/trac/ticket/114

If you just need to kill a long-running step, you would have to do
that by hand, and more likely than not, the whole build would fail
(many steps are set to fail the whole build if one step fails).
