I'll do that. It would certainly save me some scripting headaches.

Correct, Buildbot is a Python script. I only brought Buildbot up because
(it seems to me) uploading is one of those "edge" use cases, where it
could fall into the purview of either system, and I wasn't sure if this
was more a Buildbot feature or not.

(It's a barrel of fun getting Buildbot to run at all on a Windows
machine, never mind as a service, and never mind as a Windows 7 service,
but I did it anyway. Go me!)
