Lets say something changes in haiku that would affect the buildtools

Unless you're rebuilding the buildtools every time the haiku repo
changes, then this problem won't get solved anyway.
Ah.. good point. Didn't think of it in that direction.
Maybe we should "cheat" and just blow away the buildtools every night
to force a fresh copy to be built daily regardless.
That would mean that at worst, our CI mechanism would use a stale
buildtools for 24 hours before repairing itself. Of course, the
ability to manually blow away the broken buildtools if it did failed
would always be nice. (I've done that on occasion for my buildslaves
to get them back on track again).
Eh. Fair enough. 24 hours may even be a little much. maybe rebuild the
buildtools weekly (and on buildtools commits)
