It would help me a lot if the last thing that make world did was to print: make world finished Similarly for make buildworld and make installworld. I notice that make World for XFree86 has this. The reason it would help me is because I start a make buildworld, then I leave the computer for a while (typically go to sleep as I do it at night). Well, for some reason when I get back to it the computer has rebooted or has been switched off - many reasons - brownouts, wife switches it off, system panics (yes I had those a couple of times). In all those times I fairly sure that my make buildworld/make installworld finished, but it would be nice to be absolutely sure.
