Good, we'll see how the slaves like it

We will create a new master, which will run as a separate process and will
have it's own webpage. What i meant actually was pd-extended and vanilla on
one master (as it is now) and independent externals on another master.
Buildbot would handle them all very well in one master, at the moment it's
only for keeping the web views not too crowded. So i may even be able to
find a solution in a single master.
