When you are using Hudson for various automations, it's sometimes convenient
to be able to "parameterize" a build, by requiring a set of user inputs to
be made available to the build process. For example, you might be setting up
an on-demand test job, where the user can submit a zip file of the binaries to be tested.
This section configures what parameters your build takes. Parameters are distinguished
by their names, and so you can have multiple parameters provided that they have different names.
