Details

We were just discussing how to support uploaded mozconfigs on the try server in #build and came to the conclusion that if we supported loading a second mozconfig file in the build system, this would become pretty trivial. We'd first load $MOZCONFIG, as normal, and then load some other (probably hardcoded) file if it exists. I think we talked about .mozconfig-extra in the root of the srcdir for this.
I don't think we need any build system changes for this, really. Just in your tryserver mozconfig, do something like:

if [ -f $topsrcdir/.mozconfig-extra ]; then
  . $topsrcdir/.mozconfig-extra
fi

Or instead of $topsrcdir, perhaps $(dirname $0)/.mozconfig-extra.
WONTFIX based on bsmedberg's comment. I filed bug 541364 on implementing that suggestion.
