I don't know, it seems to be more trouble than benefit. Just calling the
build multiple times is very simple, and given that the only case where
I can see myself running multiple builds at the same time (i.e.
variants) is a dailybuild, where just calling multiple independent
builds works just as well I really don't see the case for variants.
