I can stick them in or you can. I'm not particularly thrilled with the
jenkins config.xml + version control story at the moment. (although I
did add the config history plugin so that we're not just constantly
overwriting that stuff through the web) (if you stick them in, shove
them in a subfolder or something- I've currently checking the
openstack-ci branch out straight in to the jenkins root.

Done. Thanks!
