you define exactly the revision you want to use on trunk or a branch.

I am not sure if I understand what you mean. My understanding is that we have limited resources on the build bots and that we should manage carefully what we want build regularly. I would love to see a flexible mechanism where we can start on demand a build on revision xy from trunk or any branch and can download the results. It would help people to verify bigger changes on all platforms without setting up all environments again. Some prefer to work on Windows, others prefer Linux or Mac or BSD.
