Ah, yes, all of the steps assume that the workdir was created by a Source
step of some sort.. a CVS checkout or the like. If you don't do that, you'll
need to add a mkdir step yourself.

Hrm. Sounds like the %1..%9 vs %* problem. How many arguments are you passing
in? Does the 'buildbot' command you're using use '%*' or the old numbered
parameters?

Also, I should probably change 'buildbot slave' to 'buildbot create_slave' or
'buildbot make slave' or something, to make the command more clear. I'll look
into this (probably keeping the old command as an alias for a while) when I
fix it to make .tac files instead of .tap files.
