There is no feedback that ci has started the build.

It would be nice to see "build queued" when the ci detected the
request and queue
the job.

I followed the instructions, and with some guessing it seems to work.

in the "build with parameters" dialog, I added the url to the job:
http://jenkins.ovirt.org/job/vdsm_master_build-artifacts-on-demand-el7-x86_64/20/

The build seems to be ok, but I don't see anywhere the basic information
about this build:

1. vdsm version
2. engine version

After several minutes I could find host vdsm logs with the vdsm version:
vdsm 4.20.0-158.git6f78efa.el7.centos

Can we add this info at the top of the build log, and to the build results?

Thanks for adding this infrastructure!
