I'd have expected that separate directories for each build are still
maintained. Testing locally here, I can use pybootchartgui in the form:

scripts/pybootchartgui/pybootchartgui.py build/tmp/buildstats/core-image-sato-qemux86/201309302155/

and I'd have thought a similar command would still work in buildhistory
since we'd still have the timestamped directory there?

Cheers,
