well, i still think it's not clear enough.
and you don't really want users to investigate what the exit status was,
do you. (also not many know about sendmail i believe.)

anyway, we've got it with buildkernel and i can't see any reason why not
to have it with buildworld.

well, i'm not a hacker and this is not something i can decide. i just
thought it'd be a good idea and that it'd help freebsd users.

cheers,
