Details

If there are a bunch of slaves for an available build to happen on, the build should be done on the one that most recently has done the same type of build.  This should increase the chance that we can get a useful depend build done.

In buildbot, this can be done by setting the 'nextSlave' attribute on the builder, which is passed the builder object and a list of available slaves.  We should be able to sort the slaves according to when they last did this builder, and then return the most recent.
