Summary Build Bots should have a different color or state for broken builds

Currently on build.webkit.org it is difficult to differentiate between a bot that has failing tests and a bot that failed to build. Failing to build is far more serious and should be addressed more quickly. I would appreciate having some indication. The EWS bots are a huge help, but bots still occasionally break.

Hmm, not so easy. buildbot waterfall just has one "failure" class.

I'd love to see this on at least the console, waterfall, and bot watcher dashboard.

"occasionally"... ha! > and bot watcher dashboard Why? A failure in column 1 is a build failure, and inspires greater panic than a failure in the other two columns (a test failure).
