JSON interface / docs improvement

[unexist]

I need to update my redmine plugin for buildbot, that still uses the old XMLRPC interface. Previously, with getAllBuildsInInterval I could fetch the newest builds without querying the names of the slaves first.

With the JSON interface, I need to do that: Basically parse and compare longs lists and request multiple items. (slaves list, builds per slave)

Is there any chance for improvement the JSON API and e.g. allow a list of builds, that can be narrowed down with select?

Additionally, proper docs what select can do would be appreciated.

We'll be getting a new JSON interface soon, and having status in a DB will allow querying builds more flexibly.
