I think this will be fairly difficult to set up. If the clean buildstep
had been executed, you would have to rerun configure and compile before
you can run any tests.
Also, how would you communicate what specific test you want to run?
A "builder" (a lane in the waterfall) has a fixed sequence of build
steps, where one is "test", and a step can be described with a shell
command. The test step simply invokes "make buildbottest". I don't know
whether it's possible to pass per-build parameters to each step (except
perhaps to the svn step); you could ask for that on the buildbot mailing
list.
The simplest solution to achieve the desired effect is to create a
branch in subversion where the buildbottest target does something
different, and then ask the slave in question to build that branch.
In any case, no, I won't be able to look into this further anytime soon.
