Well, I've "written" (as in stole from chromium) a scheduler that
exposes an "rest api" (as in single uri for now) and accepts posts
with JSON. Currently it only accepts "builder" and "changeset", but I
expect it to expand.

See HttpApi class in
http://github.com/ella/cthulhubot/blob/master/cthulhubot/buildbot.py

No auth protection for it yet, but I doubt I'll write any - asi
cthulhubot is webapp on top of buildbot, it's more likely I'll just
accept connection from webapp server only.
