Yeah. That's right. Since there is only one build-dir per builder per 
slave, you can't simultaneoulsy build different revisions of the same 
builder on the same slave. (Forgot about that).

Supporting that would perhaps be interesting?

I think you could run several slaves on one computer to achieve the same 
thing. That would solve the directory issue, although you won't be able 
to create locks for a such a "slave-group". (master or single slave 
only, but perhaps master-locks suffice if you only have one slave computer?)
