Description
It would be good to allow the buildbot slave server to run on the same machine as the master (or another handy machine) and transfer files with scp and execute commands using ssh, so that we can run builds on machines where installing everything needed to run a buildbot slave isn't really an option, or where firewalling gets in the way.
(Split off #58, which covered lots of buildbot issues)

I'm going to close this as the situation has evolved in the past ~decade to the point where this is no longer useful. Back then we were running builds on machines with very restrictive access (like the now-defunct SF compile farm), and also it's now reasonable to expect python to be available.
