Comments from Walter:
Allow timeout parameter to be set on sh:exec, python:exec and python:distutils commands, which kills the commands after the given number of seconds. This makes it much easier to deal with runaway processes.
Small fix to killing processes -- kill isn't an attribute of subprocess. It's an attribute of subprocess.Popen.
This is a good solution for #380 -- set limits on the processes running the steps, and you'll eventually get through the build. Other tickets for ignoring a build fill in the rest. See also #380.
Will update http://bitten.edgewall.org/wiki/Documentation/commands.html when this goes in.
