I guess you mean for the mtn executable. I didn't realize that was a
special case; the mtn buildbot wiki implied it should always be not in
$PATH.

Ok. I have created scripts that reside in the base buildbot directory;
they should be run as:

../../autoreconf-local.sh
../../configure-local.sh

Perhaps this could be adopted as a "standard local override"
convention? The buildbot master could do an "ls" in the base buildbot
directory, and check for names like this. Hmm. I'm not sure the
twisted protocol supports sending results like that back to the master.

I guess if only one buildbot needs it, there's no need to generalize.
