kdesrc-build: stop after failure? --truly-verbose?

Hey,

not sure this is the right list. I noticed that kdesrc-build happily continues 
building even when a module failed to build. Is this desired? I find it highly 
unintuitive, esp. as most modules failing at the beginning will mean all 
following modules will fail as well if they depend on said module.

Couldn't instead the _full_ error log be cat'ed and the build stopped? Now, I 
have to hunt down the error log manually which is really cumbersome. If others 
think this behavior is good, could I vote for an additional cli argument to 
stop after any failure?

Also, while at it, could we get a "truly verbose" flag, which actually outputs 
the output from whatever tool is currently running? For me as a developer, its 
really annoying having to tail -f on some random log files to get my hands on 
the make output... How are other developers handling this?

Bye
