This introduces the problem of what to do if a project's name changes,
which could happen in the middle of a build; it would also need additional
code to sanitise the project name to produce a valid directory name. It
seems simpler to me to just use the build ID, as it's not a massive stretch
to figure out which build goes with which numbered directory.

After discussion on the list, Sujith has provided a version of Ed's branch
which removes these fields from the new project page:
sujith/set_dldir_sstatedirv2
