[Cdash] Remove builds problem

[Julien Jomier]

Hi Tobias,

Could you try to run the autoRemoveBuilds.php script from the command 
line and see if that works?

   php5 autoRemoveBuilds.php all (or the name of the project).

Note that if you are using MySQL and MyISAM tables, the database size 
might not change until you optimize it.
