Status in Hugin - Panorama Tools GUI: Triaged

Bug description:
It is wonderful that the actual merging process is now "encoded" in a `make' 
script; however, the window with the report from the `make' process is not 
helpful enough.

First of all, I only SUSPECT that this output is from running `make'; it is not 
indicated in the UI.  Second, it is not clear what is the directory where 
`make' is invoked, and what is the "target" which is "made".  (At least on 
Windows compiled bundle; other flavors of `make' may emit "Entering 
directory..." message at start.)

I strongly suggest adding three lines at start of the window, with something 
like

  chdir /INITIAL/DIRECTORY
  make -f MAKE_SCRIPT TARGET
  ----------------------

(the form above does not require translation ;-).

======================
Another problem with this window is that it is not possible to cut&paste from 
this window when the output is "very active", and took more than one page: the 
marked region disappears on each screen output.  This may be "temporarily 
fixed" by binding Control-A to "mark all", so that one can type C-A C-C and 
hope to copy all content before the next line of output appears.  (Or just have 
all the output selected by default, so one C-C is enough.)  A more permanent 
solution may be to have a button "Paste all" (requires translation).
