It looks like these guys are picking up ideas from the travis-ci.org project, which uses a ".travis.yml" file for configuration-

This has huge advantages, especially in conjunction with things like git or github. With travis ci it's trivial for testing to be setup on new branches or even forks. We use Jenkins at work, and I'm excited to extend that level of functionality there.
