Greetings!

Perhaps I should create a new thread, but I think that my problem could be 
related with this question.

I want to implement master/slave protocol based on AMP, here is a slave side 
code https://github.com/MichaelMayorov/buildbot/compare/fake-master-slave-
amp

The problem is that I want to pass few arguments to Bot 
https://github.com/MichaelMayorov/buildbot/compare/fake-master-slave-
amp#L0R38 from this place 
https://github.com/MichaelMayorov/buildbot/compare/fake-master-slave-
amp#L0R124
but current implementation not allow me to do this. I've read twisted API 
docs and discussed my idea on #buildbot where finally take advice to post my 
question here.

Thanks!
