Hey folks,

I'd like to collect some feedback on error messages while building that 
you find confusing/annoying/unhelpful. I'm going to be working on trying 
to improve the situation and would like to hear from you about what 
could be more helpful.

I'm starting to track some of these situations with the following bugs:

http://bugzilla.pokylinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=542

http://bugzilla.pokylinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1127

http://bugzilla.pokylinux.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1128

I can't promise to fix everything you come up with, but I'd like to try 
to make a dent in some of these issues and improve the usability of our 
build system.

Thanks,

Scott
