I changed all the "post" functions in appengine/handlers/test_distributor.py to 
instead be "get" functions and I'm at least seeing instances get kicked off in 
EC2.. still waiting for results however.

On the EC2 AMIs I'm seeing hardcoded paths such as SERVER = 
'http://chrome-appcompat.appspot.com'

It is supposed to be overridden by a server parameter on the command line but I 
don't see that in C:\bots\start_run.bat

If you rerun build.py with a different appengine server & name, it does not 
correctly update the client setup py files
