[pypy-dev] Buildbot update

[Matti Picus]

TL;DR : Do you have any hints/instructions as to how to test a new 
buildbot task?

Thanks for the update, it seems to have cleaned up much of the code base.
I would like to add a task that installs the python part of a numpy 
installation to pypy and runs numpy's tests. I have started the work on 
the numpy-tests branch. I see you improved the infrastructure for 
testing buildbot itself, but it is not clear to me how to test and debug 
the new task,
Do I need to set up a master/slave pair or can I test the tasks with 
only one process, what would a typical test command-line look like, etc. 
Note that I would have to create a virtualenv and install nose into it 
since numpy tests require nose, so any hints you could give would be 
helpful.

This update should not create any significant visible changes and mainly simplifies some things in the codebase. Also the update should make it easier to add some features, such as decoupling the translation from the tests, hopefully allowing to reuse binaries for different test runs.
