kerl hides the output of configure

[sedrik]

The end results of configure tells you if any applications in otp will be skipped due to missing dependencies. It would be nice if kerl could capture and present this information during building.

👍

It is a very interesting idea. Mind sending a pull req?

[sedrik]

If I get the time over I will look at it.

I've just seen this issue. The way I fixed it for myself was to change do_build() so that the otp_build commands append to the log file, instead of overwrite, and to not remove the log file at all.

I can send a PR, if still interested, or you can make the change yourself :)

This is really worthwhile. Good idea.

This is my proposal did last evening. Let me know if it looks good and I'll send a pull request.
