[Buildbot-devel] Custom properties from force build page

[Roch Gadsdon]

Thanks Aaron, that's great.

Judging by the list and Trac ticket, custom properties seem to have  
attracted a fair amount of interest by now. So, I'll aim to do some  
more work to get everything to the stage where it's hopefully fit for  
inclusion in the main codebase. The main things I think need doing are:

1) Make the code production quality - need docs, tests etc
2) Persist the custom properties so that builds are exactly repeatable.
3) Decide if we want to distinguish custom properties from other build  
properties - see earlier discussion on the ticket

If there any other thoughts on what needs doing they'd be really  
welcome. If not, I'll update when I make some progress...
