Sounds great:-)

BTW, one problem I've come across with buildman recently is that it 
re-orders warnings/errors from the compiler. In particular, it seems to 
separate what it thinks are warning from errors (perhaps stdout/stderr 
split??) but I'm not sure it always gets it right, and I think elides 
duplicate lines when doing so. When running buildman repeatedly while 
doing development, and experiencing a compile error, this makes it 
extremely difficult to interpret some of the compiler's multi-line 
messages. Is it possible to have an option that turns off all the output 
processing, and just shows stderr/out mixed up as they would appear 
"interactively" when manually invoked from a shell, with no 
post-processing? Occasionally I have to fall back to a manual "make" 
invocation due to this.
