The problem with the idea is that sendchange sends a *change* object,
which doesn't have properties, rather than forcing a build directly.
Furthermore, when a change turns into a build, it goes through a whole
sequence of intermediaries, where it can potentially be merged with
other changes, etc.

If what you're looking for is the commit comment, though, then things
might not be so bad, and in fact a patch to add the accumulated
comments from changes as a build property would be useful to have in
buildbot.
