What we really want is a web site where this information can more easily be
seen. I'm not writing that web site now, but if I get around to the scripts and
they give me the information we want, moving that into web space might be the
next task on the list.
This was a GSoC project that didn't get done.

I don't really want the public making massive numbers of http requests to the
buildmaster (which is what the script would do) because I fear it might be slow
and clog up the bandwidth. I can run the scripts on the same network as the
buildmaster and so not use up its bandwidth.
