meaningful enough

I tried to tune up the docs on this one:

like to keep your internal hostnames completely private or make them
more descriptive. This hostname should be unique among build slaves, and
something generally descriptive and not too long would be nice, as this
name is used fairly frequently in build result displays.
So it isn't just the DNS hostname of the slave, it is more an identifier
for the slave that defaults to DNS hostname. This is because on pages
like this:
http://boost.resophonic.com/trac/traash
it would be nice to be able to see that e.g. Beman's build box has
17 more errors than Troy's... so we don't want all the vistas to have
their hostnames set to vista.dc.resophonic.com.

I've seen this but haven't had time to dig in and solve it yet. CPU
usage drops to zero and the thing just sits there (there is no
network connection open, that isn't the problem). There is something
fishy with the python subprocess stuff (on windows. darwin/linux are
fine.) that I haven't had time to look at.
