If you're looking to minimize the hacking of buildbot source itself,  
you should be able to limit your change to commenting out or removing  
the 1 line that registers the box component for the waterfall. Then  
you can write your own box class and register it yourself in your own  
code.  What I would like to see in buildbot is a way to unregister or  
override the boxes so you do not need to comment out that line. Or is  
there a way to do it already that I missed?
