Bugs hit

Starting the build was delayed about an hour because hg was very slow. https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=781300

I didn't allocate enough slaves to the win32 and mac64 slaves for bm13 so these builds were delayed. Also, after allocating some slaves to the bm13 in slavealloc, I didn't realize that you had to reboot the slaves so they would point to the new master. I updated the build doc to reflect this.
