Ahh, I misconstrued poller for scheduler here. ... and I also didn't
remember that fileIsImportant got more than just a list of files.

So, Bill, from:

  http://buildbot.net/buildbot/docs/current/reference/buildbot.changes.changes.Change-class.html

it looks like you just want to define a fileIsImportant function
that looks at change.asDict()['comment'] for your special string.
If 'comment' doesn't contain the checkin comment, one of the other
dictionary members might... look at the asDict member function in the
above link.
