[Buildbot-devel] FTP step

[Mark Roddy]

What about an 'aggregate step' that takes a list of other steps?  This
would solve the issue of the waterfall being clutered.  As for
master.cfg being clutered, the aggregate step could be inherrited from
and have the steps it uses specified in the constructor.
