I should have read the readme.

I do have an additional newbie question though: the readme says "log
out and back in again", which is fine for a user. In my case I'm not a
user, I'm a Jenkins service. I thought the equivalent would be
"restart Jenkins", which I did, and has apparently been insufficient.
Anyhow, _as a user_ I can now run cogspur on build.squeak.org. I'll
fight with Jenkins a bit more and see if I can get _Jenkins_ to do so.
