Adding new branches automatically would be great, but it'll need some
work from the animal herders as well as some careful design - for
example, my Windows animals have separate schedules for each branch
(some running more frequently than others), whilst my Solaris ones now
use a runner script that cycles through the list of branches on each
of a couple of animals.
