Just to close this thread out:
I looked at the buildbot code, and it seemed to say that it would call workdir
and get its result, if workdir was callable, otherwise it would use workdir
verbatim. Therefore I used:
my_factory = BuildFactory()
my_factory.workdir = '../build'
and this is working fine.
