I am only interested to know, when it finished.
The color gimmicks help you better
than the lines displaying what the
tools underneath are doing?
Pardon, but this logic escapes me.
But this is already taken care
of by koji. :-)
As a developer, maintainer and/or packager you normally want to see what
the tools are doing, e.g. if the compiler has received the correct
flags, is using the correct libraries etc.
