• Create production branches of buildbotcustom, buildbot-configs
• Create local checkouts of buildbotcustom, buildbot-configs per master instance
• Update Makefiles with update-master
• Create Makefile that will call 'make update-master' on the various masters

• Clean up master directory layout (have Makefile, buildbotcustom, buildbot-configs in a level higher up)
• Virtual envs for masters
