Conceptually it is a framework where you write simple jobs that are
scheduled or run when you commit something new to your version control
system. The typical use is to build the trunk version on every
change, run the tests, and email the group if anything is broken, but
a job can do anything you want and there are many plugin extensions.
A master system does the scheduling and collates the results but the
work can be distributed over many slave machines and across target
platforms.
