Hi, I have several buildbot 0.8.12 worker machines, each with two builders. One 
of the builders ("watcher") is triggered by changes in the version control 
system. It does some preliminary setup work, then triggers one or more jobs on 
the other builder ("builder") which does the actual building. The "watcher" 
waits until all the jobs it triggered on "builder" have finished. I would like 
"watcher" and "builder" to share some files, and it seems natural to want to 
place those files in the workdir, which means they would need to share the same 
workdir. What's the best way to accomplish that, or is there a reason why I 
shouldn't do that? The most relevant documentation I found through Google was:

http://docs.buildbot.net/current/manual/customization.html#factory-workdir-functions

But that talks about using a callable function to return a workdir determined 
at runtime. I don't need that. How can I just set a different default workdir, 
for all build steps (while still allowing one build step to override that)? Can 
I just set build_factory.workdir to a string instead of a function? Is that 
documented somewhere that I missed?
