Will Hobbit play nice with bbfetch?  If I recall, bbfetch is run on the BBDISPLAY server, and scp's the raw status files generated by the remote clients modified $BBHOME/bin/bb. I'm wondering if it would still work since Hobbit has no bbvar directory...I think it would because I think bb-fetch uses the $BBTMP variable, and from what I have seen Hobbit populates all the usual bb variables.

If bb-fetch won't work with Hobbit, it might be nice to incorporate similar functionality in, as it is quite useful for situations where bbproxy won't do the trick because of one-way firewall issues.
