I think Thomas had mentioned something on this a while back.
Basically, if I understand correctly (see ?sink):

"... Normal R output (to connection ‘stdout’) is diverted by the
     default ‘type = "output"’.  ...  Messages sent to ‘stderr()’
     (including those from ‘message’, ‘warning’ and ‘stop’) ..."

And if the download / make process is spitting out using message(...)
then we can not know if it is just a message, a warning, or an error!
