Jered,

Yes! Sounds Great!

If you want me to test some on my config, lemme know.

I then addURL'd a link to the buildsteps to link them together in the waterfall UI, which is pretty nice once you see it.

If one of the triggered builds fail (or if I want to look at something in that build), I have to manually guess which build in the waterfall corresponds to the trigger. I cant find anything in the "big" build that links to the actual triggered "little" builds.. right?

It looks like Triggerable has the buildset id, but how can I use that to retrieve the BuildStatus objects from that? I suppose all I really need are (builder name, build id) tuples to build a URL, but getting the BuildStatus would be more general, for example if I wanted to later add stdio logs to the email.
