[Buildbot-devel] Can't get a slave to pick up more than one request at time

[Francesco Di Mizio]

after thinking about this for a  while I am sure I was misunderstanding
that max_count. It dictates how many builds can be running at the same time
from different builders. The fact that builddir has by default the builder
name in it kinda makes sense. If a slave allowed multiple builds from the
builder they would end up clashing.

Thing is: for builders that dont actually do any real work but just
orchestrate the kicking of other builders this should be made possible I
think.
