Add option for forcing re-build

[GoogleCodeExporter]

When a build fails, it's common to want to manually re-run it immediately after 
a fix.

My current solution is to stop the xinc process, modify the project file to 
specify buildalways, 
possibly modify the schedule interval, run xinc -o, then revert the project 
file and restart xinc.

Suggested options:
1) Add a --force option that would run xinc -o with the build-always flag.
2) Add a signal listener on the xinc server that would force a build.
3) Ideas?

I think 1 is easiest, and would work find for me.

Hello,

my preferred solution is a "build now" button in the webfrontend.

On my personal installs I have this already, the problem with this is, that 
there is
currently no permission management, so that making it public is impossible.

I can probably release this feature with an configuration option to 
enable/disable,
so its disabled by default.

I'm partial to the build now button on the frontend as well. That was actually a
customization I was about to undertake.

Build now would be fine by me. I can deal with the permissions issues.

Was this ever added? You should list all current features somewhere easy to 
find.

I would love to see a public repository of plugins. One thing Xinc really lacks 
that
I found incredibly useful in CruiseControl is the ability to 'stop', 'force 
build',
etc in the GUI. Having to alter a config and restart the service is just silly.

Please try a xinc-force-build plugin at 
http://code.google.com/p/xinc-force-build/.
This plugin adds a "Build now" link. It will be built at the next cron task run.

Don't hesitate to ask for support. :)

Needs so many changes (interprocess communication and so on) so moving to 2.4, 
implemented sensor, as a possibility.
