Hi Armin,

It's useful for anyone using TeamCity that wants to run BitBake builds :). There are numerous reasons why we chose TeamCity rather than Toaster, not all of which related to Yocto: LDAP integration, ability to do Windows & Linux builds, etc. So I chose to set up one build server (TeamCity) rather than two (TeamCity and Toaster). I imagine we are not the only ones who took a similar approach.

> Are you willing to maintain this UI.

Yes. I have been for the past two years internally, anyway.

No, but it's obviously a good idea so I'll add it to my TODO list. 

Thanks,
Chris
