[users at bb.net] Limiting the number of builds per day

[Pierre Tardy]

Hi Mojca,
the Nightly scheduler has a onlyIfChanged argument which is exactly meant
for that.
You need to setup properly a change source, and change filter, and then
trigger every now and then. the builder will only start if there are change
ongoing for it.
